Neurosurgery Rounds: Questions and Answers-2판

Neurosurgery Rounds: Questions and Answers, Second Edition by Mark Shaya and an impressive cadre of coauthors and 
contributors, thoroughly prepares medical students and residents for common yet challenging questions frequently 
encountered during neurosurgery rounds. The convenient, easy-to-follow format provides diverse coverage of multiple 
disciplines intertwined in the understanding, care, and treatment of neurosurgical patients.

Bringing the state of the art in neurosurgery up to date, nine revised and expanded chapters cover a full range of 
congenital, degenerative, traumatic, neoplastic, infectious, vascular, and inflammatory conditions impacting the brain, 
spine and peripheral nerves. Short answers and explanations appear directly below the questions, enabling quick 
reference during busy hospital shifts.
