Arteriomalformations in Functional Areas of the Brain

This work introduces the surgical technique that Dr Yamada developed for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the brain's functional areas. It is based on the haemodynamic anatomy of AVMs relative to the brain, as well as a thorough understanding of specific anaesthesia techniques.

With this invaluable guide to surgical techniques for direct intervention to AVMs in functional areas, readers will gain insight into their proper treatment. A pre-requisite for all neurosurgeons and specialists who are considering these surgical procedures and need to become acquainted with the different modes of AVM treatment.
