Great Guide!
This is a great guide for anyone, who is looling for as much information on Cerebral Aneurysm as there is available.
It is an excellent compilation of sources.

Pts Guide
This is an exhaustive list of web sites and links, many of which are not viable because they link to university sites that are not being managed or that have removed the target documents.

Pts Sourcebook
This book is an exhaustive list of web links and some data about Cerebral Aneurysms.However, many of the links do not work or lead to anything, as the data that was published has either been archived or removed from many of the university hospital web sites.I was also looking for a book that is focused on the process of recovery, and this is not the book.

Product Description
An aneurysm is a localised dilation of the wall of a blood vessel, usually caused by atherosclerosis and hypertension, or less frequently, by trauma, infection or a congenital weakness in the vessel wall. Aneurysms most commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain and in the aorta. As the size of the aneurysm increases, there is an increased risk of rupture, which can result in severe haemorrhage and other complications including sudden death. This book describes different types of aneurysms, their causes, diagnosis and how they can be treated. ... Read more

Brain Aneurisms and Vascular Malformations by Eric Nussbaum
I ordered the books for a friend, whose daughter had a brain anuerism. She wanted the books for her family. The books were in remarkable good condition, so I am now ordering 4 more copies. My only question is: Though all books came from the same supplier, we paid $6.00 postage for each copy, ($16.00).

Reading about Brain Surgery Made Easy
If you think a book about brain aneurysms needs to be dull and technical, and read like a medical textbook, think again.This one is informal, conversational, and quickly read.Who should read this book? Anyone who has been diagnosed with an aneurysm or has a family member who has, and wants to be better informed. Dr. Nussbaum uses a concrete storytelling metaphor to illustrate his narrative. The information is in short question and answer format and is illustrated with simple, clear, line drawings. There is a good glossary.The length is only 128 pages. As far as I know, there is nothing as accessible available about this subject. ... Read more

A monument
While the whole collection is by no means recent, the 4 (or 6( volume set of Microneurosurgey by MG Yasargil is simply splendid. This is of course due to the extreme care with which all the cases presented have been documented. The drawings by the artis P Roth are simply splendid and truly reflect the mastery of Dr Yasargil's operative technique end success. These books came out at a time when there were not that many textbooks available to Neurosurgeons and compared to those these books were revolutionary. They still are but they have set themselves the standards of today so it is maybe difficult to asses their impact when they came out. The first volumes on aneurysms are simply the best and have aged the least. The AVM volumes, while being great are too broad in scope and become monuments and quite difficult (or not as easy ) to digest. The only slight problem is the age of the volumes since MRI, while available, wasnot done as widely as now. Thus the imaging relies very heavily on beautiful angiography: the CTs have suffered somewhat with age unfortunately but overall this is no problem since these books are simply indispensable and are still available today. No matter what related field you are in: in neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neurology or neuropathology you simmply need these books written by a giant in its field.

Outstanding !!!
Dr. Yasargil, named "Man of the Century" by NEUROSURGERY--the official journal of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, has been a pioneer in microneurosurgery for more than 20 years. This 4-volume set is the standard-setting guide to the field!

Volume I: Microsurgical Anatomy of the Basal Cisterns and Vessels of the Brain

Volume II: Clinical Considerations, Surgery of the Intracranial Aneurysms and Results

Volume IIIA: AVM of the Brain, History, Embryology, Pathological Considerations, Hemodynamics, Diagnostic Studies, Microsurgical Anatomy

Volume IIIB: AVM of the Brain, Clinical Considerations, General and Special Operative Techniques, Surgical Results, Nonoperated Cases, Cavernous and Venous Angiomas, Neuroanesthesia

Volume IVA: CNS Tumors: Surgical Anatomy, Neuropathology, Neuroradiology, Neurophysiology, Clinical Considerations, Operability, Treatment Options

Volume IVB: Microneurosurgery of CNS Tumors

Brilliant
I have a large AVM and owe my life to this brilliant neurosurgeon.

A fundamental text-book
MG Yasargil is the father of miconeurosurgery and, in my opinion still one of the leading sources from whom to learn, not just "the tricks", but equally, "the trade" itself. His trans-sulcus approach to intra-parenchymatous tumors provides for good exposure with less surgicaltrauma. Dr. Yasargils experience and his passion for the field comesthrough in his writing. Though this may not be the first book a young andaspiring neurosurgeon should aquire, the book is a must for the librariesof neurosurgical groups and hospital departments. Having worked in thisfield for more than 20 years, I still consult this book, because of itsillustrations and the transparent description of preparing for surgery, ofthe notes on complication avoidance and, equally importantly, oncomplication management. ...

Product Description
This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides the best collection available anywhere of official Federal government information and documents on the subject of aneurysms. This CD-ROM uses next-generation search technology that allows complete indexing and makes all files on the disc fully searchable. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a ballooning out of the main blood vessel in the abdominal area, occurring mostly in men. A cerebral aneurysm is the dilation, bulging or ballooning out of part of the wall of a vein or artery in the brain. The disorder may result from congenital defects or from other conditions such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), or head trauma. Cerebral aneurysms can occur at any age, although they are more common in adults than in children and are slightly more common in women than in men.

This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Contents include clinical and medical Information, with information on risk groups, signs, symptoms, testing, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical trials.

In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, as a bonus we have included an encyclopedic collection of general medical and health documents, with extensive material from the CDC, FDA, and NIH on hundreds of diseases. Since navigating the Internet to find additional non-governmental medical information can be confusing, we've also provided our exclusive "Guide to Leading Medical Websites" with updated links to 73 of the best sites for medical information! By using weblinks on the CD-ROM, you can quickly check for the latest clinical updates directly from the government.

This CD-ROM has over 34,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software and Reader software is included. Advanced search and indexing features are built into our reproduction, providing a complete full-text index. This enables the user to search all the files on the disk at one time for words or phrases using just one search command! The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality to this impressive collection of government documents and material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable!

Our CD-ROMs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. This book-on-a-disc makes a superb reference work and educational tool for patients and their families, physicians, and other medical professionals.

Product Description
This monograph describes the importance of nuclear imaging techniques in the management of patients suffering from abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Nuclear imaging techniques have an important role in determining of the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and these investigations are very valuable in the assessment of the extent of this condition in the patients suffering of AAA.The results of the cardiac nuclear examination may allow to stratify the risk of adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing surgery for this condition.The incidence of AAA is increasing, particularly in the western countries, and these patients also have a high incidence of cardiac disease.Preoperative evalutation with nuclear imaging techniques to establish the presence and the extent of CAD before elective AAA interventions help avoiding an adverse outcome related to cardiac complications. This study describes original research which has been conducted at the Isotope Scanning Unit of the Royal Infirmary in Stoke-on-Trent (UK). The current literature on the subject is reviewed, and the basis of these imaging techniques are also described. ... Read more
