Book SynopsisMasterful 2D and 3D head, neck, and brain dissections provide unsurpassed insights into head, neck, and brain anatomy An internationally renowned and beloved author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Professor Albert Rhoton has a special place in medical history. He was revered by students and colleagues and is regarded as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. A driving principle in his anatomy lab was the simple phrase, "Every Second." This was embraced in his philosophy that every second of every day, a patient's life was improved by a surgeon assisted by the anatomic knowledge his lab helped elucidate and distribute. Rhoton's Atlas of Head, Neck, and Brain is the visually exquisite crowning achievement of Dr. Rhoton's brilliant career and unwavering dedication to the intertwined pursuits of surgical anatomy and neurosurgery. The atlas reflects the unparalleled contributions Dr. Rhoton made to the contemporary understanding of neurosurgical anatomy. Dr. Peris-Celda, with the collaboration of an impressive cadre of international multidisciplinary experts, worked closely under Dr. Rhoton's tutelage on this project. This book is the culmination of 5 years of work and experience gleaned from more than 40 years of surgical anatomy research and exquisite dissection techniques performed in Dr. Rhoton's laboratory. Special Features Each anatomic dissection meticulously labeled with English and Latin descriptors for easy cross referencing with other resources. Multiple views of the most complex regions of the head, neck, and brain provide a deeper understanding of anatomy. More than 600 anatomical images systematically organized in four major sections: Osteology of the Head and Neck; Face and Neck; Ear, Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, and Orbit; and Neuroanatomy and Cranial Base. Superb 2D images presented in a large printed format to optimize the viewing experience. 3D digital images fully realize the beauty of the dissections and enhance the learning process. Specimens injected with colored silicone provide better visualization of arteries and veins. Breathtakingly stunning, this atlas is certain to be a treasured reference for medical students, residents, and clinicians specializing in neurosurgery, facial plastic surgery, otolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, and craniofacial surgery for many years to come.Table of ContentsPart I Osteology of the Head and Neck 1 Adult and Fetal Skull 2 Bones of the Skull and Skull Bone Articulations 3 Cervical Vertebrae Part II Face and Neck 4 Face: Superficial Dissection 5 Face: Deep Dissection 6 Anterior Aspect of the Neck: Deep Dissection 7 Anterior Aspect of the Neck: Deep Dissection 8 Posterior Aspect of the Neck 9 Parapharyngeal Dissection Part III Ear, Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, and Orbit 10 External and Middle Ear 11 Internal Ear 12 Nose: Sagittal Dissection 13 Nose: Coronal Dissection 14 Endonasal Endoscopy 15 Pharynx 16 Larynx 17 Orbit 18 Eye and Orbital Contents 19 Internal Structure of the Eyeball Part IV Neuroanatomy and Cranial Base 20 Cerebrum 21 Cerebellum and Brainstem 22 Brain, Meninges, and Sutures 23 Cerebrovascular and Intraventricular Dissection 24 Cranial Base and Craniocervical Junction 25 Sagittal and Endoscopic Dissection of the Cranial Base 26 Cranial Nerves 27 Brain Sections 28 Fiber Dissection of the Brain

Book SynopsisSkull base anatomy is extremely complex, with vital neurovascular structures passing through multiple channels and foramina. Brain tumors such as pituitary tumors, acoustic neuromas, and meningiomas are challenging to treat due to their close proximity to cranial nerves and blood vessels in the brain, neck, and spinal cord. Medical imaging is an essential tool for identifying lesions and critical adjacent structures. Detecting and precisely mapping out the extent of disease is imperative for appropriate and optimal treatment planning and ultimately patient outcome. Eugene Yu and Reza Forghani have produced an exceptional, imaging-focused guide on various neoplastic diseases affecting the skull base, with contributions from a Who's Who of prominent radiologists, head and neck surgeons, neurosurgeons, and radiation oncologists. The content is presented in a clear and concise fashion with chapters organized anatomically. From the Anterior Cranial Fossa, Nasal Cavity, and Paranasal Sinuses - to the Petroclival and Lateral Skull Base, an overview and detailed analysis is provided for each region. Key Highlights Fundamentals of skull base imaging, including recent developments in diagnostic modalities More than 400 radiographs, color anatomical drawings, and color intraoperative photos elucidate the imaging appearances of a wide spectrum of disease affecting the skull base, as well as important anatomic variants and pathways of disease spread Clinically oriented imaging approach focuses on diagnostic and prognostic features important in the evaluation of skull base abnormalities Atlas of skull base CT and MRI anatomy provides an easy to access, quick reference for identifying important anatomic landmarks Insights on the pathways of tumor growth and the role of clinical imaging in the management of skull base cancers Critical and contrasting viewpoints from multidisciplinary experts provide a well-rounded perspective This invaluable resource chronicles current knowledge in state-of-the-art skull base tumor imaging with clinical pearls on pathophysiology, prognosis, and treatment options. It is a must-have for radiology, neurosurgery, and otolaryngology residents and clinicians who care for patients with head and neck neoplasms.Table of Contents1 Anterior Cranial Fossa, Nasal Cavity, and Paranasal Sinuses 2 Sellar, Parasellar, and Clival Region 3 Cerebellopontine Angle and Jugular Fossa 4 Petroclival and Lateral Skull Base 5 Open and Endoscopic Approaches to the Sinonasal Cavity and Skull Base 6 Posttreatment Appearance Following Skull Base Therapy 7 Neuroendovascular Procedures for Skull Base Neoplasia 8 Cross-Sectional Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Atlas of the Skull Base
