Description
Book SynopsisThree clinicians with extensive experience of the condition known most widely as pseudotumor cerebri syndrome provide a comprehensive review of the subject resulting in a book that is of diagnostic interest and clinical importance not just to neurosurgeons, but to neurologists, ophthalmologists and headache specialists.
Trade Review'The book is well written and easy to read. Many points are illustrated by case descriptions, allowing the reader to understand the complex nosology of these syndromes as well as the debate regarding mechanisms … This book will be of great interest to neurologists, opthalmologists, neurosurgeons and neurophysiologists, particularly those clinicans and researchers interested in cerebrospinal-fluid absorption disorders.'
