Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Rapid diagnosis and treatment are crucial to successful outcomes in infections involving the central nervous system, which can cause significant neurological morbidity and mortality. Neurosurgical Infectious Disease: Surgical and Nonsurgical Management is a comprehensive guide that gives surgeons the core knowledge they need to diagnose, treat, and prevent infectious diseases of the central nervous system.

Key Features:

Emphasizes newer surgical techniques, including: endoscopy, neuronavigation, and intraoperative guidance Covers contemporary radiologic diagnostic techniques and provides excellent imaging examples Includes chapters on antibiotic prophylaxis, intracranial infection, and the infection of implanted devices

This excellent neurosurgical reference will be an essential part of the armamentarium used by neurosurgeons and infectious disease specialists in their daily practice.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
