Description
Here is the new standard reference book on tumours of the nervous system. All neoplasms of the central and peripheral nervous systems
and their immediate coverings, together with tumours of associated intra-cranial and spinal structures are covered in this brand new
book. Cysts, vascular malformations and infective lesions are also included. Practical diagnostic considerations are given priority
throughout the text, and the revised WHO classification for CNS tumours is used throughout.
