| Summary: |
This book is focused on trigeminal neuralgias and their management, a field in which, during the two past decades, there were numerous advances in comprehension of mechanisms of the disease and diagnosis with imaging, as well as in medical therapies and in surgical treatment. The authors are well-known specialists for this treatment and summarize their long experience in this comprehensive and practical book. They are experts not only on the surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia with the micro-vascular decompression procedure but also with the lesioning procedures. In this pictorial guide, readers can find the pathways for diagnosis, and practical guidelines to help decision-making among the most appropriate treatments, tailored on to every patients need. Neurologists, neurosurgeons, and dentists, but also ENT specialists, ophthalmologists, and maxillofacial specialists, would find an invaluable support in this book devoted to a rather frequent problem to deal with. |
