The Surgery of the Skull and Brain

In this book, the Surgery of the Skull and Brain is based on experience derived, and on research carried out, during the past ten years. CranioCerebral Surgery, though still in its infancy, has progressed with leaps and bounds during the past few years. This book represents the most modern aspects of the case and is brought up to date by means of a recent visit to some of the leading surgical clinics of the United States of America. The surgeon who is called upon to carry out operations on the skull and brain must possess an accurate knowledge of the anatomy of the parts involved. Firstly, the skull can be divided into two lateral halves by the surface-marking of the superior longitudinal venous sinus.
