Cavernous Sinus : Developments and Future Perspectives

Professor Dolenc edited the first comprehensive and up-to-date text dealing with the cavernous sinus. His book addressed anyone concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of lesions of the skull base. Now, twenty years later, the same author edits a new volume with articles by specialists in the topic presenting the state-of-the-art in this technology.
