The one-stop guide to microsurgical and endoscopic treatment of skull base lesions from global
expertsA deep knowledge of regional anatomy improved understanding of pathologies and their
behaviors technological advances and multidisciplinary collaboration have led to more
effective treatments for once inoperable skull base lesions. Microsurgical and Endoscopic
Approaches to the Skull Base: Anatomy Tactics and Techniques by renowned skull base
neurosurgeons Luis A. B. Borba and Jean G. de Oliveira presents a balanced anatomy-based
perspective on microsurgical and endoscopic approaches to manage these highly challenging
lesions. The text leverages the best current scientific literature on this topic and insights
from global skull base surgery experts.Organized into 9 sections and 52 chapters the book
starts with discussion of microsurgical and endoscopic instrumentation and neurophysiological
monitoring. The subsequent sections cover diverse approaches for skull base lesions involving
the sphenoid and parasellar orbit anterior fossa cavernous sinus temporal bone and jugular
foramen and foramen magnum regions. Each of these sections starts with an introduction
followed by a microsurgical description of the anatomy of the impacted region.Key Highlights-
