Advances in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery 7

Book excerpt: The increasing importance of stereotactic surgery in the management of common neurological conditions is illustrated by the broad applications of stereotactic techniques described in this book. International authorities present their most up-to-date experience in the fields of movement disorder, tumours, epilepsy, and pain and spasticity. The integration of modern imaging techniques with stereotactic instrumentation is a particular feature. The book provides the most modern description of the techniques and applications of an expanding field of neurosurgery.
