Abstract

Functional neurosurgery by example is a concise text designed to provide neurosurgeons in training and early career neurosurgeons a deeper dive into the nuances of functional neurosurgery through carefully selected case examples. The overall structure and format of this book follows the structure and format of the series, which includes bulleted questions, pearls, pivot points and complications. The discussions reflect the thought process behind the management choice(s) presented for each case as well as the alternative choices with their pros and cons. The cases chosen encompass the breadth of functional neurosurgery and constitute the vast majority of likely cases to be encountered during practice of functional neurosurgery.
