At the 8th European Congress of Neurosurgery, which took place in
Barcelona, September 6-11, 1987, a great number of papers from all
fields of neurosurgery were presented, reflecting the major advances
that have been achieved in recent years. The Programme Committee of the
European Association of Neurosurgical Societies has selected the
highlights of the congress for publication. These contributions were
carefully edited and compiled in two supplement volumes of Acta
Neurochirurgica.
