This book documents the state of the art in pediatric neurosurgery with the intention of providing a comprehensive guide to the management of the full range of pediatric neurosurgical disorders that will aid in the delivery of optimal care. Detailed practical instruction, taking into account recent advances, is provided on the neurosurgical treatment of congenital brain malformations, cerebrovascular diseases, head injuries and spinal trauma, infections, functional disorders, congenital and developmental spinal disorders, and brain and spinal tumors. Pearls and pitfalls are highlighted, and attention drawn to the most useful tips and tricks. Information is also included on relevant related topics, including the principles of neuroimaging, the physiological responses of newborns, infants, and children to neurosurgical trauma, preoperative evaluation, anesthesiology and intensive care, and other forms of therapy. The authors are renowned experts in the field, and the text is supported by a wealth of high-quality images. Handbook of Pediatric Neurosurgery will be of value for neurosurgeons of all levels of experience, as well as for pediatricians, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, and neuro-oncologists.

The authors have done an excellent job of catering to visual learners who may often struggle with dense research texts. we enthusiastically support the circulation of the Textbook of Pediatric Neurosurgery and encourage surgeons, residents, students, and associated health care providers in neurosurgery to take a second look at what this text has to offer. (Rebecca A. Reynolds and Robert P. Naftel, Operative Neurosurgery, Vol. 20 (4), April, 2021)
Textbook of Pediatric Neurosurgery provides in exquisite detail a guide to both the fundamentals and details of pediatric neurosurgery. It will prove an excellent reference for all interested in this rapidly growing and essential field, advanced practitioner and trainee included. I particularly recommend it to senior residents and fellows pursuing a career in pediatric neurosurgery, as this excellent resource will prove itself a frequently referenced throughout their burgeoning careers.
