Part of the Neurosurgery by Example series, this volume on cerebrovascular neurosurgery presents exemplary cases in which renowned authors guide readers through the assessment and planning, decision making, surgical procedure, after care, and complication management of common and uncommon disorders. Each chapter also contains 'pivot points' that illuminate changes required to manage patients in alternate or atypical situations, and pearls for accurate diagnosis,successful treatment, and effective complication management.

Part of the Neurosurgery by Example series, this volume on cerebrovascular neurosurgery presents exemplary cases in which renowned authors guide readers through the assessment and planning, decision making, surgical procedure, after care, and complication management of common and uncommon disorders. Each chapter also contains 'pivot points' that illuminate changes required to manage patients in alternate or atypical situations, and pearls for accurate diagnosis,successful treatment, and effective complication management. Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery is appropriate for neurosurgeons who wish to learn more about a subspecialty, and those preparing for the American Board of Neurological Surgery oral examination.
Peter Nakaji, MD, is Professor of Neurosurgery at the Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) in Phoenix, Arizona, where he serves as the program director of the neurosurgery residency program. Dr. Nakaji specializes in cerebrovascular, skull base, and minimally invasive and endoscopic cranial surgery. His special surgical interest is in constantly improving the technical aspects of neurosurgery to improve patient outcomes. Michael R. Levitt, MD, is a board-certified neurosurgeon at the Neurological Surgery Clinic and Cerebrovascular Lab at Harborview Medical Center and the University of Washington. Dr. Levitt is Assistant Professor of Neurological Surgery and Radiology, an adjunct Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and the scientific director of the Stroke and Applied Neuroscience Center at the University of Washington.
