SURGERY OF THE CEREBELLOPONTINE ANGLE. 2ND EDITION

The second edition of Surgery of the Cerebellopontine Angle offers a comprehensive guide to the surgical treatment of diseases in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), a fragile area of the skull base that Harvey Cushing famously described as "the bloody angle." This multidisciplinary treatment of the subject brings the most up-to-date information on the endoscopic, endovascular, and radiologic treatment options together to present proven and effective options to the surgical teams taking on this challenging neurologic surgery. The book is divided into five sections:
• Foundations for Treatment
• Surgical Approaches
• Acoustic Neuromas (with new chapters on hearing rehabilitation following acoustic neuroma surgery and prevention and management of CSF leakage after surgery)
• Nonschwannomatous Lesions of the CPA
• Examples of Cases and Approaches with Animations and Videos
