✦ Synopsis

Featuring comprehensive coverage of the latest developments and technology
in the field, Case-Based Interventional Neuroradiology





provides a thorough review of
commonly encountered neurovascular diseases, as well as detailed background
information on the rationale for each treatment choice. Cases center on
"real life" scenarios with high-quality images, and offer readers a concise,
practical, and up-to-date approach to the diseases neurointerventionalists face. A separate section
in each case contains alternate treatment options -- including
medical, surgical, or radiosurgical treatment options -- in order to broaden the
reader's understanding of the benefits and disadvantages of treatments
provided by related disciplines. Clinicians can rapidly refresh their knowledge on
the success and complications rates of the different treatment options using
the up-to-date literature review featuring the latest references.

Features:

• 72 clinical cases enhanced by over 750 high-quality
  radiographs cover the full range of vascular and nonvascular neurointerventional
  diseases
  
• Interpretations of clinical and imaging findings help
  readers to fully understand the reasons for the treatment choice and the
  specific goals to be achieved
  
• Presents tips on how to avoid complications,
  as well as how to recognize and manage complications 
  
• Examples of both successful and unsuccessful cases
  offer a well-rounded perspective
  
• Readers are brought up to speed quickly with practical
  information on imaging findings, the physical exam, epidemiology, differential
  diagnoses, treatment modalities, the risks of alternate treatments, and current
  studies

This cutting-edge compendium is an essential resource for both the beginning interventionalist and the seasoned practitioner in radiology, interventional radiology, neuroradiology, and vascular neurosurgery. Residents will find the succinct presentation of cases an invaluable learning tool.
