Written by a world-class team of multidisciplinary experts, here is the
first definitive reference on these two highly challenging tumors occurring in
the skull base and spine. Covering everything from their embryology and
pathology, clinical presentation and diagnosis, radiologic appearance, surgical
treatment, radiation therapy, and prognosis, it is the most comprehensive book
ever written on the topic.

Special features:

- All available information on these tumors packed into
a single volume

- High-quality illustrations that make anatomy and
surgical approach crystal-clear

- Contributors include: Albert Rhoton Jr., Harry Van
Loveren, Laligam Sekhar, Robert Spetzler, and Chandranath Sen

- Includes alternative methods of treatment, ranging
from surgery to radiation modalities, with recurrence and outcome assessment

For all specialists
who treat tumors of the skull base and spine, including neurosurgeons,
otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons, ophthalmologic surgeons, and
orthopedic surgeons.
