The Funnel: From the Skull Base to the Sacrum
Skull-base surgery is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure, which involves the surgeon inserting instruments through the natural openings in the skull—the nose or mouth—or by making a small hole just above the eyebrow. This type of surgery requires a team of specialists, which may include ENT (ear, nose, and throat), maxillofacial and neurosurgeons, as well as radiologists. The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) has a unique anatomical bone and neurovascular structure, which not only separates the subaxial cervical spine but also provides a special cranial flexion, extension and axial rotation pattern. As such, a sound knowledge of the basic principles of spine instrumentation and the region’s kinematics are essential when it comes to strategic preoperative planning. Skull-base, craniovertebral junction, spine demolitive and reconstructive surgery, neuromodulation, bioengineering and transplantation are recent tools used to improve reconstruction, restoration and rehabilitation – three key words central to the core aim of the Neurorehabilitation and Reconstruction Committee of the WFNS, which is to promte mechanical morphological and functional restoration.
The Role of Modern Neuro-oncology in the Treatment of Primary CNS Tumors, and Brain and Spinal Metastases
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
Psychosurgery
Psychosurgery, or the surgical treatment of mental disorders, has enjoyed a spectacular revival over the past ten years as new brain stimulation techniques have become available. Neuromodulation offers new possibilities for the treatment of psychiatric disorders such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), addiction, eating disorders and autism. This work presents the history of this unique specialty and investigates current techniques and ethical challenges. With a wealth of illustrations and detailed anatomical diagrams, it provides essential information for medical practitioners, as well as anyone else interested in the fascinating advances being made in neuroscience today. «...

Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors
This book offers an update about peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST), both in their benign and malignant forms (MPNST). Starting from the most innovative preclinical studies about genetic and omics characterization, it then explores the traditional and advanced imaging modalities (ultrasound, DTI, etc) and the electrophysiological assessment. Another relevant part is reserved to the description of the most recent surgical techniques (fluorescent dye for intraoperative surgical guidance, neurophysiological monitoring, esoscopic view). Finally, new oral treatment for PNST related to neurocutaneous diseases (as selumetinib in plexiform neurofibromas) is described. Written by worldwide experts in each specifical field, if offers a multidisciplinary vision to PNSTa, approaching the topic in a translational way, from preclinical studies to the current medical practice. The ideal readers are all health operators involved in the treatment of these tumors - from neurosurgeons to radiologists, neurologists, geneticists, biologists, etc.), as well as medical students in these disciplines.
