Provides an introduction to neurosurgery for medical students, aiming to demystify the subject by giving a clear introduction to common neurological problems. The emphasis of the text is on the principles of neurosurgical diagnosis and management; the actual techniques of neurosurgery are not required by medical students and only mentioned briefly. This updated second edition of the text incorporates advances in neurosurgery, including magnetic resonance imaging, molecular biology techniques, interventional radiography, advances in spinal surgery and the emergence of AIDS.

"What it lacks in colour, it more than makes up with some fantastic diagrams, pictures and scans showing the important pathology of a number of core problems. It guides the reader from clinical presentation all the way through to postoperative care. Definitely worth a look."
– Black Bag. Bristol Medical School Magazine. Winter 2005
