Índice: The 12 cranial nerves will each have their own individual chapter.Each chapter will cover anatomic information regarding the origin, course, and function of the cranial nerve, followed by differential diagnosis of the various pathologies affecting the nerve accompanied by imaging examples with associated description. Each chapter will include 1-3 line drawings, 3-12 radiographs of normal anatomy, and 8-30 radiographs of pathology

This beautifully illustrated book combines a detailed exposition of the anatomy and function of the cranial nerves with practical coverage of clinical concepts for the assessment and differential diagnosis of cranial nerve dysfunction. An introductory chapter provides a brief overview of cranial nerve anatomy and function, skull base anatomy, classification of pathologies, and imaging approaches. Each of the twelve chapters that follow is devoted to in-depth coverage of a different cranial nerve. These chapters open with detailed discussion of the various functions of each nerve and normal anatomy. The authors then describe common lesions and present a series of cases that are complemented byCT images and MRIs to illustrate disease entities that result in cranial nerve dysfunction
