This didactic book clearly and systematically describes the anatomical-surgical fundamentals of cranial neurosurgery, relating them to norm variants, imaging modalities and interdisciplinary aspects. All illustrations, hand drawn in ink by the first author, are simple and self-explanatory.
The book reflects the first author's lifetime experience as an academic neurosurgeon and teacher, as well as the second author's theoretical and practical knowledge of neurosurgical subspecialties such as epilepsy surgery.
In addition to its core audience in neurosurgery, it provides all connected disciplines, in particular neuroradiology, neurology, neuropathology, ENT surgery, maxillofacial surgery and eye surgery, with unique anatomical insights into the neurosurgeon's perspective.
Wolfgang Seeger was Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg until he retired in 1997. His major interests were advances in microsurgical techniques and training co-workers in these techniques. He published 22 books on microsurgery and continued to hold training seminars and lectures on microsurgical anatomy after his retirement.
Josef Zentner has been Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg since 1997. His main fields of interest are epilepsy research, neuro-oncology and brain-computer interfaces.

This text is primarily useful for neurosurgical trainees and young neurosurgeons that are still establishing the critical waypoints on their 3D anatomical roadmap. ... The strength of this book lies in its organization. It is obviously a book written by surgeons, for surgeons' practical use. ... It is obviously a labor of love, and it will be sure to impart its benefits to the interested reader. (Joseph Quillin, Operative Neurosurgery, Vol. 17 (1), July, 2019)
