Couverture de l’ouvrage Textbook of Pediatric Neurosurgery

This book documents the state of the art in pediatric neurosurgery with the intention of providing a comprehensive guide to the management of the full range of pediatric neurosurgical disorders that will aid in the delivery of optimal care. Detailed practical instruction, taking into account recent advances, is provided on the neurosurgical treatment of congenital brain malformations, cerebrovascular diseases, head injuries and spinal trauma, infections, functional disorders, congenital and developmental spinal disorders, and brain and spinal tumors. Pearls and pitfalls are highlighted, and attention drawn to the most useful tips and tricks. Information is also included on relevant related topics, including the principles of neuroimaging, the physiological responses of newborns, infants, and children to neurosurgical trauma, preoperative evaluation, anesthesiology and intensive care, and other forms of therapy. The authors are renowned experts in the field, and the text is supportedby a wealth of high-quality images. Handbook of Pediatric Neurosurgery will be of value for neurosurgeons of all levels of experience, as well as for pediatricians, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, and neuro-oncologists.

Concezio Di Rocco graduated from the Catholic University Medical School, Rome, where he completed his training in general Neurosurgery and in Pediatrics. In the same University he became Chairman of the Pediatric Neurosurgery Department, Policlinico Gemelli, and Director of the Institute of Neurosurgery. In 2013 he moved to Hannover, Germany, to become Director of the Pediatric Neurosurgery Department of the International Neuroscience Institute (INI) at Otto Von Guericke University. Currently, Prof. Di Rocco is in charge of the Hydrocephalus Project of the Foundation of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) and is Editor of Child’s Nervous System and the official journals of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery (ISPN), the European Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery (ESPN), the Latino-American Society of Pediatric Neurosurgery, and national pediatric neurosurgical societies of Brazil, China, Japan, Korea, and Russia.

After his initial pediatric neurosurgical training in Chicago, IL, under the guidance of Prof. Anthony J. Raimondi, at the Children’s Memorial Hospital, Prof. Di Rocco dedicated full time to pediatric neurosurgery in Italy, obtaining the first and unique chair of the specialty in the country. He also was fully engaged in the activities of the international pediatric neurosurgical community as President of the ISPN and ESPN, Vice President of the European Association of the Neurosurgical Societies, and Chairman of the Pediatric Committee and the Education Committee of the WFNS. He was awarded with the Medallion of honor of the WFNS in 2019.

With Prof. Maurice Choux, Marseille, France, Prof. Di Rocco is engaged in a vast international program for education in pediatric neurosurgery, which found its more obvious evidence in the organization of Postgraduate Courses held regularly in Europe, South America, and Asia. Prof. Di Rocco published more than 430 articles in peer reviewed international neurosu
