Comprehensive resource features state-of-the-art brain mapping techniques and pearls from international recognized neurosurgeons Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa and Kaisorn Chaichana and coeditor Deependra Mahato

Despite advances in imaging techniques to identify eloquent cortical brain regions and subcortical white matter, brain mapping is the only method for obtaining real-time information with high sensitivity and specificity. This groundbreaking technology greatly enhances the neurosurgeon''s ability to safely resect challenging lesions located in eloquent areas of the brain. Brain Mapping: Indications and Techniques by esteemed neurosurgeons Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa, Kaisorn Chaichana, and Deependra Mahato, is a comprehensive overview of the most critical aspects of brain mapping from leaders in the field.

The book starts with discussion of preoperative aspects, including the history of brain mapping and anatomy of eloquent cortical and eloquent white matter tracts. Subsequent chapters cover perioperative aspects of brain mapping including indirect and direct functional mapping, the role of neurophysiology, awake craniotomy operating room set-up and surgical instruments, and anesthetic considerations. Diverse awake and asleep brain mapping techniques are described for various intracranial pathologies, as well as advances in postoperative recovery of neurological function including physical and speech therapy.

Key Features

Dedicated chapters focused on essential sensory functions cover speech mapping, asleep motor mapping, awake subcortical language mapping, and visual cortex and visual tract mappingDisease- and region-specific techniques that encompass extra-operative brain mapping for epilepsy, surgery mapping for insular tumors, seizure mapping, and brainstem and spinal cord mappingClinical pearls on postoperative issues such as rehabilitation, emergence of DBS-evoked functional connectomics, brain neuroplasticity, and radiating eloquent areasHigh-quality illustrations and videos enhance understanding of brain regions targeted in different mapping techniques

This is the most comprehensive resource available to date on brain mapping and surgery in eloquent regions. As such, it is a must-have for neurosurgical residents, fellows, practicing neurosurgeons, and allied healthcare practitioners who treat patients with brain conditions.

The advent of microneurosurgery has expanded our understanding of neurosurgical anatomy and enabled complex microsurgical procedures to be performed with greater safety and precision. More recently, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has provided a means to visualize major white matter tracts that are not discernible during direct surgical inspection.This comprehensive atlas enhances knowledge of the brain’s three-dimensional microanatomy, which is critical for navigating surgical complexities while preserving important non-visible structures. The richly illustrated chapters feature detailed dissections of white matter tracts using Klingler’s technique, presenting the intrinsic architecture of the brain, common microsurgical approaches, and case-based examples.Atlas of Intrinsic Brain Architecture for Microsurgery is an essential resource to help medical students, neurologists, neurosurgery residents, and neurosurgeons correlate the anatomy of cerebral white matter fibers with related pathologies and microsurgical approaches.

Further sections cover approaches to surgery via particular anatomical areas, including transorbital, supraorbital, transnasal, infratemporal fossa, and transoral approaches. The concluding sections cover the management of selected skull base lesions, skull base reconstruction and postoperative management.Minimal Access Skull Base Surgery – Open and Endoscopic Assisted Approaches is enhanced by 428 images and illustrations and an accompanying DVD featuring practical guidance on several procedures. This is an essential resource for neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, and any health care providers involved in these minimal access procedures.Key PointsComprehensive guide to minimal access procedures in skull base surgeryCovers minimal access skull base surgery via nose, mouth, eye socket and infratemporal fossa428 images and illustrationsInstructional DVD for several skull base proceduresEdited Kofi Boahene and Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa based at John Hopkins Medical Institute, Baltimore, USA

The inspiring story of a young Mexican immigrant who became a renowned neurosurgeon.  Today he is known as Dr. Q, an internationally renowned neurosurgeon and neuroscientist who leads cutting-edge research to cure brain cancer. But not too long ago, he was Freddy, a 19-year-old undocumented migrant worker toiling in the tomato fields of Central California.  In this gripping memoir, Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa tells his amazing life story - from his impoverished childhood in the tiny village of Palaco, Mexico, to his harrowing border crossing and his transformation from undocumented immigrant to American citizen and gifted student at the University of California at Berkeley and at Harvard Medical School.Packed with adventure and adversity - including a few terrifying brushes with death - Becoming Dr. Q is a testament to persistence, hard work, the power of hope and imagination, and the pursuit of excellence. It's also a story about the importance of family, of mentors, and of giving people a chance.
