It was a pleasure to review this book, which is very comprehensive in its 
coverage on the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of diseases of the 
posterior fossa. This book has described extensively and accurately the 
anatomical aspects of posterior fossa through skull base and intraoperative 
images, with apt correlation to the
radiological imaging. This correlation 
enables the reader to understand and remember better the normal anatomy of 
posterior fossa. -- American Journal of 
Neuroradiology

The ability to operate successfully in the posterior fossa requires a 
thorough understanding of its neuroanatomy and physiology, accurate localization 
of lesions, and optimal surgical technique. Principles of Posterior Fossa Surgery provides an in-depth review of this complex 
surgical region, with detailed coverage of anatomy, pathology, imaging, 
disease-based management, and surgical approaches. Written by a team of highly 
respected specialists, it will be a valued reference and refresher for 
clinicians who perform posterior fossa surgery, as well as for trainees.

Special Features:

Begins with a useful framework in neuroimaging, 
neuropathology, and microsurgical anatomy of the posterior cranial fossa

Covers a wide range of approaches and pathologies in 
the region, including congenital Chiari malformations, infections, trauma, 
aneurysms, and tumors

Highlights the anatomy of common surgical approaches, 
with numerous radiographic and endoscopic images that aid in visualizing 
concepts

Provides full coverage of surgical techniques, 
starting with basic concepts and progressing to operations on more challenging 
entities like petroclival meningiomas, jugular bulb tumors, acoustic neuromas, 
complex basilar aneurysms, and posterior circulation aneurysms

Includes comprehensive sections on surgical management 
of pediatric posterior fossa tumors and shunt surgery for lesions

Shares the insights of prominent neurosurgeons from top centers around the world, who discuss their preferred strategies for tackling this challenging area of the brain

Focusing solely on the posterior fossa, this book fills an important 
gap for neurosurgeons, skull base specialists, and residents and fellows who are 
training in this anatomically challenging region. It will enrich their 
understanding and knowledge of the field, expand their surgical armamentarium, 
and help achieve the most successful clinical outcomes.
