About This Book

The text presents a practical surgical handbook on operations involving the skull and brain, opening with cranio-cerebral topography and surface markings and proceeding to operative technique including trephining, scalp-tourniquets, and osteoplastic flaps. It surveys congenital and traumatic conditions—cephaloceles, birth fractures, hydrocephalus, and skull fractures—then details management of intracranial injuries, extradural and subdural hemorrhages, and the delayed consequences of head trauma. Subsequent chapters address intracranial tumors, infectious lesions such as abscesses and meningitis, and penetrating and bullet wounds, with guidance on exposure, decompression, and sinus management. Later sections cover trigeminal neuralgia and primary bone tumors of the skull, supported throughout by clinical illustrations and operative guidance.


Transcriber’s Notes

Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings, not all elements may display as intended.

Inconsistent spelling, hyphenation, capitalisation, formatting and lay-out have been retained, except as mentioned below.

The heading hierarchy has based on the contents and/or lay-out of the text due to the inconsistent formatting and lay-out in the source document. Consequently, this hierarchy (and any auto-generated tables of contents based thereon) do not necessarily reflect the author’s intent.

Figs. 18 and 71, as well as Figs. 3, 58 and 68 and their respective captions and references in the List of Illustrations are identical in the source document.

Page 39, Ssamoylenko: more commonly transcribed Samoylenko.

Page 99, table, bottom row: the data do not add up to the total; the data and the total do not result in the percentage given.

Page 115, van Benedin: possibly an error for van Beneden.

Page 134, table: mortality with 59 survivors and 29 fatalities is 33%, not 37%. Some other calculated percentages elsewhere in the text are erroneous as well.

Page 196: the Intersection symbol ⋂ is used to indicate the shape only, it is not used in its mathematical sense.

Page 252, two-saced: as printed in the source document; possibly an error for two-faced.

Page 312, 1. Therapeutic remedies: this is the only numbered sub-section in this section.
