Masterful 2D and 3D head neck and brain dissections provide unsurpassed insights into head
neck and brain anatomy An internationally renowned and beloved author educator brain
anatomist and neurosurgeon Professor Albert Rhoton has a special place in medical history. He
was revered by students and colleagues and is regarded as one of the fathers of modern
microscopic neurosurgery. A driving principle in his anatomy lab was the simple phrase Every
Second. This was embraced in his philosophy that every second of every day a patient's life
was improved by a surgeon assisted by the anatomic knowledge his lab helped elucidate and
distribute. Rhoton's Atlas of Head Neck and Brain is the visually exquisite crowning
achievement of Dr. Rhoton's brilliant career and unwavering dedication to the intertwined
pursuits of surgical anatomy and neurosurgery. The atlas reflects the unparalleled
contributions Dr. Rhoton made to the contemporary understanding of neurosurgical anatomy. Dr.
Peris-Celda with the collaboration of an impressive cadre of international multidisciplinary
experts worked closely under Dr. Rhoton's tutelage on this project. This book is the
culmination of 5 years of work and experience gleaned from more than 40 years of surgical
anatomy research and exquisite dissection techniques performed in Dr. Rhoton's laboratory.
Special Features Each anatomic dissection meticulously labeled with English and Latin
descriptors for easy cross referencing with other resources. Multiple views of the most complex
regions of the head neck and brain provide a deeper understanding of anatomy. More than 600
anatomical images systematically organized in four major sections: Osteology of the Head and
Neck Face and Neck Ear Nose Pharynx Larynx and Orbit and Neuroanatomy and Cranial Base.
Superb 2D images presented in a large printed format to optimize the viewing experience. 3D
digital images fully realize the beauty of the dissections and enhance the learning process.
Specimens injected with colored silicone provide better visualization of arteries and veins.
Breathtakingly stunning this atlas is certain to be a treasured reference for medical students
residents and clinicians specializing in neurosurgery facial plastic surgery otolaryngology
maxillofacial surgery and craniofacial surgery for many years to come.
