Description
Thieme Publishing Group Vasculature Of The Brain And Cranial Base Variations In Clinical Anatomy 1998 Edition by Walter Grand, L. Nelson Hopkins, Axel Pemeczky, Illustrated by Paul H. Dressel
Rather than forcing rigid anatomical codes, the authors focus attention on visualizing the pattern and variations of the blood supply. They emphasize the importance of the fundamentals of microvascular anatomy, and of the careful study of drawings with corresponding images. Sections cover basic anatomy, the external carotid artery, the internal carotid artery, carotid ophthalmic triangle, posterior communicating artery and anterior choroidal artery, middle cerebral artery, anterior communicating and anterior cerebral arteries, basilar bifurcation and posterior cerebral arteries, vertebral and basilar arteries, and venous anatomy. Appendices include suggested readings, a list of average diameters of vessels, and a sample laboratory drawing. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
