Cranial Nerves: Anatomy Pathology Imaging

A single-volume resource for detailed coverage of the anatomy, function, and pathology of the cranial nerves with CT
and MRI correlation

This beautifully illustrated book combines a detailed exposition of the anatomy and function of the cranial nerves with
practical coverage of clinical concepts for the assessment and differential diagnosis of cranial nerve dysfunction. An
introductory chapter provides a brief overview of cranial nerve anatomy and function, skull base anatomy,
classification of pathologies, and imaging approaches. Each of the twelve chapters that follow is devoted to in-depth
coverage of a different cranial nerve. These chapters open with detailed discussion of the various functions of each
nerve and normal anatomy. The authors then describe common lesions and present a series of cases that are complemented
by CT images and MRIs to illustrate disease entities that result in cranial nerve dysfunction.

Highlights:


Concise descriptions in a bulleted outline format enable rapid reading and review



Tables synthesize key information related to anatomy, function, pathology, and imaging



More than 300 high-quality illustrations and state-of-the-art CT and MR images demonstrate important anatomic concepts
and pathologic findings



Pearls emphasize clinical information and key imaging findings for diagnosis and treatment



Appendices include detailed information on brainstem anatomy, pupil and eye movement control, parasympathetic ganglia,
and cranial nerve reflexes


This book is an indispensable reference for practicing physicians and trainees in neurosurgery, neurology,
neuroradiology, radiology, and otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. It will also serve as a valuable resource for
students seeking to gain a solid understanding of the anatomy, function, and pathology of the cranial nerves.
