This is an exhaustive list of web sites and links, many of which are not viable because they link to university sites that are not being managed or that have removed the target documents.

Pts Sourcebook
This book is an exhaustive list of web links and some data about Cerebral Aneurysms.However, many of the links do not work or lead to anything, as the data that was published has either been archived or removed from many of the university hospital web sites.I was also looking for a book that is focused on the process of recovery, and this is not the book.

Brain Aneurisms and Vascular Malformations by Eric Nussbaum
I ordered the books for a friend, whose daughter had a brain anuerism. She wanted the books for her family. The books were in remarkable good condition, so I am now ordering 4 more copies. My only question is: Though all books came from the same supplier, we paid $6.00 postage for each copy, ($16.00).

Reading about Brain Surgery Made Easy
If you think a book about brain aneurysms needs to be dull and technical, and read like a medical textbook, think again.This one is informal, conversational, and quickly read.Who should read this book? Anyone who has been diagnosed with an aneurysm or has a family member who has, and wants to be better informed. Dr. Nussbaum uses a concrete storytelling metaphor to illustrate his narrative. The information is in short question and answer format and is illustrated with simple, clear, line drawings. There is a good glossary.The length is only 128 pages. As far as I know, there is nothing as accessible available about this subject. ... Read more

A monument
While the whole collection is by no means recent, the 4 (or 6( volume set of Microneurosurgey by MG Yasargil is simply splendid. This is of course due to the extreme care with which all the cases presented have been documented. The drawings by the artis P Roth are simply splendid and truly reflect the mastery of Dr Yasargil's operative technique end success. These books came out at a time when there were not that many textbooks available to Neurosurgeons and compared to those these books were revolutionary. They still are but they have set themselves the standards of today so it is maybe difficult to asses their impact when they came out. The first volumes on aneurysms are simply the best and have aged the least. The AVM volumes, while being great are too broad in scope and become monuments and quite difficult (or not as easy ) to digest. The only slight problem is the age of the volumes since MRI, while available, wasnot done as widely as now. Thus the imaging relies very heavily on beautiful angiography: the CTs have suffered somewhat with age unfortunately but overall this is no problem since these books are simply indispensable and are still available today. No matter what related field you are in: in neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neurology or neuropathology you simmply need these books written by a giant in its field.

Outstanding !!!
Dr. Yasargil, named "Man of the Century" by NEUROSURGERY--the official journal of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, has been a pioneer in microneurosurgery for more than 20 years. This 4-volume set is the standard-setting guide to the field!

Volume I: Microsurgical Anatomy of the Basal Cisterns and Vessels of the Brain

Volume II: Clinical Considerations, Surgery of the Intracranial Aneurysms and Results

Volume IIIA: AVM of the Brain, History, Embryology, Pathological Considerations, Hemodynamics, Diagnostic Studies, Microsurgical Anatomy

Volume IIIB: AVM of the Brain, Clinical Considerations, General and Special Operative Techniques, Surgical Results, Nonoperated Cases, Cavernous and Venous Angiomas, Neuroanesthesia

Volume IVA: CNS Tumors: Surgical Anatomy, Neuropathology, Neuroradiology, Neurophysiology, Clinical Considerations, Operability, Treatment Options

Volume IVB: Microneurosurgery of CNS Tumors

Brilliant
I have a large AVM and owe my life to this brilliant neurosurgeon.

A fundamental text-book
MG Yasargil is the father of miconeurosurgery and, in my opinion still one of the leading sources from whom to learn, not just "the tricks", but equally, "the trade" itself. His trans-sulcus approach to intra-parenchymatous tumors provides for good exposure with less surgicaltrauma. Dr. Yasargils experience and his passion for the field comesthrough in his writing. Though this may not be the first book a young andaspiring neurosurgeon should aquire, the book is a must for the librariesof neurosurgical groups and hospital departments. Having worked in thisfield for more than 20 years, I still consult this book, because of itsillustrations and the transparent description of preparing for surgery, ofthe notes on complication avoidance and, equally importantly, oncomplication management. ...
