This atlas provides all the basic and advanced information required by
surgeons in order to understand fully the skull base anatomy. It is
organized according to anatomo-surgical pathways to the hidden areas of
the skull base. These pathways are described in step-by-step fashion
with the aid of a wealth of color images and illustrations. The emphasis
is on endoscopic anatomy, but in order to provide a holistic
perspective, informative three-dimensional reconstructions are presented
alongside the endoscopic images and radiologic images are included when
appropriate. In effect, windows are opened on the anatomy so that the
reader is guided on a journey throughout the skull base region. This
anatomically oriented atlas will serve as an ideal learning tool for
novice surgeons and will also prove an invaluable reference for the more
experienced surgeon
