This sequel to Dr. Lawton´s best-selling Seven

Aneurysms focuses

on microsurgical resection techniques for AVMs found in the lobes and deep

regions of the brain. It categorizes the techniques into subtypes to simplify the

broad spectrum of brain AVMs neurosurgeons may encounter. The book is

organized into three sections: The Tenets, which establishes eight steps for AVM

resection; The Seven Arteriovenous Malformations, which describes the anatomical

terrain and surgical strategies for thirty-two AVM subtypes; and The

Selection section, in which Dr. Lawton discusses what he believes to be the keys

to successful AVM surgery: good patient selection and best application of

multiple treatment modalities. Key Features:
