Craniopharyngiomas: Comprehensive Diagnosis, Treatment and Outcome

Editat de James J. Evans, Tyler J. Kenning
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 ian 2015
Craniopharyngiomas: A Comprehensive Guide to Diagnosis, Treatment and Outcome is a comprehensive guide to the science, diagnosis and treatment of craniopharyngiomas, rare brain tumors that grow near the pituitary gland. Even though these tumors are generally benign, due to the location, prognosis was often bleak. This reference provides a resource for specialists requiring a comprehensive overview of this rare form of tumor, outlining new diagnostic, imaging and surgical techniques, including endoscopic endonasal cranial base surgery, which enable successful neurosurgical intervention. With a better prognosis, patients require multidisciplinary management from neurology, otolaryngology, radiation oncology, endocrinology, and neuropathology.

  • The only comprehensive guide to the science, diagnosis and treatment of craniopharyngiomas
  • Includes multidisciplinary management from neurology, otolaryngology, radiation oncology, endocrinology, and neuropathology
  • Detailed coverage of the impacts of new diagnostic, imaging and neurosurgical techniques including endoscopic endonasal cranial base surgery
