Riassunto

Intracranial Epidural Bleeding: History, Management, and Pathophysiology examines the history of the concepts underlying the understanding of the clinical features of epidural bleeding. The pathophysiology of epidural bleeding was examined in two PhD theses in the 1980s, with the results published in top international journals. However, these concepts have not been understood by the general neurosurgical community. This book provides a comprehensive overview of how epidural bleeding actually works. It can be used to help improve the interpretation of images during management, and to assess degrees of urgency. This book is written for neurosurgeons, neurologists, cerebrovascular physiologists, trauma surgeons, and medical historians.

• Focuses on the understanding of the clinical features of epidural bleeding
• Helps to improve the interpretation of images during management, and in assessing degrees of urgency
• Includes a comprehensive historical review of the understanding of epidural bleeding over time

Dalla quarta di copertina

Intracranial Epidural Bleeding examines the history of the concepts underlying the understanding of the clinical features of epidural bleeding. The pathophysiology of epidural bleeding was examined in two PhD theses in the 1980s and the results published in top international journals. However, these concepts have not been understood by the general neurosurgical community. This book provides a comprehensive overview of how epidural bleeding actually works. It can be used to help improve the interpretation of images during management and to assess degrees of urgency. It also discusses how ideas about epidural bleeding developed and it illustrates how ideas which seem obvious to us may have been obscure for long periods; even centuries. This book is written for neurosurgeons, neurologists, cerebrovascular physiologists, trauma surgeons, and medical historians.
