Orbital Apex and Periorbital Skull Base Diseases
This book is designed to have a comprehensive review of the spectrum of diseases involving orbital apex and periorbital skull base and the up-to-date advancement in different treatment modalities. Management of diseases at the orbital apex and periorbital skull base has always been a challenge. Multiple specialties are involved, including skull base neurosurgeon, oculoplastic ophthalmologist, otorhinolaryngologist, head and neck surgeon, oncologist, neurologist and radiologist. However, frequently it results into a “no-man’s land”, as no single specialty is entirely familiar with this complex and overlapping anatomical territory. Cranial nerves, carotid artery, and cavernous sinus are ...
Presurgical Evaluation of Epilepsy Surgery
Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) is defined as failure of two adequate trials of appropriately chosen and administered antiepileptic drugs. Approximately about 30% of epilepsy patients are drug resistant. Accountable reasons to treatment failure including failure to recognize epilepsy syndrome, poor drug compliance, lifestyle factors, etc. In modern era of medicine, DRE patient should be encouraged to have early referral to tertiary epilepsy centre for presurgical evaluation. Comprehensive neurophysiology, structural neuroimaging, and neuropsychological and psychiatric assessment are regarded as essential elements. Invasive electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring in terms of subdural electrodes, depth electrodes, foramen ovale electrodes, and more advanced technique using stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) are strong armamentarium for epilepsy surgeon. Epilepsy surgery in terms of resection, disconnection, or neuro-modulation should be recommended after a multi-disciplinary agreement.
Advances in Electroencephalography and Brain Connectome
This book examines developments in neuroscience with an emphasis on electroencephalography (EEG) and the brain connectome. The chapters address such topics as the practical use of EEG in the lab, EEG with a correlation of neuroimaging, medical application of EEG, connectome concepts in surgical intervention including newly evolving stereotactic electroencephalography, and the use of EEG in the brain-computer interfaces for neurorehabilitation.
Emerging Trends in the Management of Cryptogenic Epilepsy
Cryptogenic epilepsy, accounting for ~40% of adult-onset epilepsies and a lesser proportion in paediatrics, is defined as epilepsy of presumed symptomatic nature in which the cause has not been identified. It has a higher prevalence of refractory seizures when compared to those with idiopathic epilepsy (40 vs. 26%). These patients are usually treated with multiple anti-epileptic drugs, yet the total number of which used is inversely proportional to their efficacy. Moreover, these children may have significantly worse behavioural problems and can result in substantial cognitive impairments when older. Luckily, the number of cryptogenic epilepsy cases is diminishing due to better diagnostic ab...
Brain Tumors
Brain tumors comprise a spectrum of histological patterns. Their presentation and management depend on their location, size, and grade of lesions. This book is a collection of high-quality research work from global experts on brain tumors, including meningiomas, and their treatment.
Early Intervention in Psychiatric Disorders Across Cultures
Evidence indicates a correlation between early intervention and improved response in psychiatric disorders. Yet the majority of evidence is from high-income countries, and there is a lack of evidence and resources on the impact of early intervention across cultures and in low- and middle-income countries. Early Intervention in Psychiatric Disorders across Cultures aims to bridge this gap by focusing on the evidence and methods of intervention in less affluent countries. It covers mood disorders, personality disorders, addictions, and other psychiatric conditions, whilst most research has focused on psychoses and bipolar disorder. Over 17 chapters, this resource guides the reader through an array of approaches to early intervention, from brain imaging and available care pathways, to cultural and societal factors. Part of the Oxford Cultural Psychiatry series, this resource offers readers a picture of the current health care pathways available as well as social, cultural, and ethical considerations to apply in practice.
Intracranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery
In this third edition of Intracranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery, Drs. Sheehan and Lunsford provide an updated assessment of the practice of stereotactic radiosurgery. Topics include benign and malignant tumors, cerebrovascular abnormalities, and functional disorders. Several new topics are now included and focus on immunotherapy, hypofractionation, and repeat radiosurgery. Each chapter contains key figures and tables to illustrate the critical concepts of the work. Contributors to the book represent many of the most prestigious stereotactic radiosurgery centers across the world. This book is comprised of 36 chapters and represents a comprehensive update to prior editions. It is intended to b...
