Publisher's Synopsis
This volume features 15 papers presented by leading neurosurgeons at the 1990 meeting of the American Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery. The authors discussed the latest concepts and exchanged clinical experiences on diverse neurological disorders affecting children. Controversial questions of diagnosis and management were addressed and results with new surgical and imaging procedures were reported. Topics covered included cervical dysraphic abnormalities, CSF shunts and shunt infections, paediatric brain tumours as well as stereotaxic balloon encephalotomy and gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of brain tumour patients.
