The introduction of the endoscope for neurosurgical procedures began with great promise. It was developed to provide a magnified anatomical view of the ventricular system in a minimally invasive manner. The early endoscopes were too primitive for the majority of procedures performed today. The advent of illumination, optical systems, and modern endoscopes allow the neurosurgeon to perform these previously inoperable cases. This book introduces all aspects of the modern endoscope system, physics of optics, and all the techniques of intracranial neuroendoscopy. This is a must-have book for all levels of surgeons, residents, operating room staff, and anyone who wants to learn about endoscopy and its potential applications.

This specialized textbook will be dedicated to the various disease topics of pediatric neurosurgery and management strategies. The text will cover the different aspects of the field of pediatric neurosurgery in a unique way by giving state of the art up-to-date synopsis with references to recent publications. More specifically, the whole book is dedicated to a comprehensive discussion of brainstem tumors and other lesions.  It will be composed of 20 chapters. The various chapters will start from updates regarding the development of the nervous system and the clinical differences in assessing the infant or a child in comparison to the adult patient. The book then will focus on  various pathologies starting with hydrocephalus, pediatric brain and spine tumors, congenital malformation, spasticity, epilepsy, and more. The proposed textbook will be enriched with diagnostic and surgical images, and illustrations that cover all types of pediatric neurosurgery pathologies, with an emphasis on evidence-based data that reflects the controversies and possible solutions. The main structure of each chapter will include a short synopsis of the topic at hand, questions and answers that will inspire the reader for better understanding, learning objectives, and key references for further reading. Written by experts in the field, Pediatric Neurosurgery Board Review serves as a valuable resource for neurosurgery residents and fellows studying for their neurosurgery exams, as well as an educational material for neurosurgery specialists after graduation by discussing pediatric neurosurgery in more convenient way to review and understand key information in this field.

Written and edited by leading international authorities in the field, this book provides an in-depth review of knowledge of complications of CSF shunting, with emphasis on prevention, identification, and management. It covers the full range of shunt-related complications and the various associated adverse consequences that remain common despite significant improvements in imaging techniques and therapeutic methods. The chapters are organized into two parts: complications of extrathecal CSF shunt devices and complications of endoscopy. In addition to providing clinicians and investigators with the most pertinent current evidence, the book looks forward to future areas of hydrocephalus research and to innovative therapeutic philosophies. This comprehensive reference book will be an ideal source for neurosurgeons seeking both basic and more sophisticated information and procedures relating to the complications associated with CSF shunting.
