Abstract:
:Successful surgery within the brain stem parenchyma demands precise knowledge of the surface anatomy, relationship between surface and deep structures, microscopic anatomy, and functional anatomy of the brain stem. Emphasis on correlative knowledge of these aspects of brain stem anatomy will improve the success of brain stem surgery.
