Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations: Essentials for Patients and Practitioners

Focusing on both the patient's perspective and the neurosurgeon's concerns, Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations: Essentials for Patients and Practitioners, edited by leading experts Drs. Philip E. Stieg, Alexander A. Khalessi, and Michael L. J. Apuzzo, starts with an up-to-date approach to the matter of doctor-patient communication and moves on to the highly technical details of AVM treatment options. The first section covers communication with patients (who may well want to read it themselves); the second section is directed to neurosurgeons and other specialists caring for patients with intracranial AVMs, including those in emergency medicine, obstetrics, anesthesia, and intensive care. It offers a highly sophisticated but readable approach to the contemporary treatment of these challenging lesions. INDICE: I. Acknowledgementsii. Prefaceiii.
