This book presents neurosurgical anatomy by detailing approaches on cadavers in the same position patients would be placed in during a real operative procedure. Anatomy is described in:

• all commonly used cranial and cranial base approaches
• anterior, posterior, anterolateral and posterolateral approaches to all segments of the spine
• all commonly performed procedures on peripheral nerves
• endoscopic approaches to cranial and spinal neurosurgery

Stresses the understanding of the anatomy rather than the performance of the procedure.
