Essentials of Osborn's Brain: A Fundamental Guide for Residents and Fellows, 1e (2020)

Designed to facilitate easier understanding of a complex subject , Essentials of Osborn’s Brain: A Fundamental Guide for Residents and Fellows is a highly practical guide to neuroradiology by world-renowned expert Dr. Anne G. Osborn. This concise text is derived from Osborn's Brain, second edition, and contains the essential must-know information critical for residents and fellows in radiology, neuroradiology, and neurosurgery―all in a format that's ideal for study and daily reference. Takes readers through the neuroimaging rotations of a radiology, neurosurgery, or neurology residency or fellowship via a "curriculum" of selected readings for each rotation Includes a brief section for each of 4 resident years , which lists directed readings in the book as well as optional correlated content in STATdx and RADPrimer for each rotation Combines gross pathology and imaging to clearly depict why diseases appear the way they do Features more than 2,000 high-definition, state-of-the-art images with each one referenced to its corresponding descriptive location in the text Features Dr. Osborn's trademark summary boxes throughout, allowing for quick review of essential facts Includes updated information on brain tumor genetics, new tumors, and interim updates to the 2016 World Health Organization classification of CNS neoplasms Presents new insights on autoimmune encephalitis, noninfectious CNS inflammation, and brain microbleeds, including critical-illness-associated microbleeds Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices Front Cover Front Matter Copyright Contributing Authors Introduction Image Contributors Acknowledgments Table of Contents Section 1 Trauma 1 Trauma Overview 2 Primary Effects of CNS Trauma 3 Secondary Effects and Sequelae of CNS Trauma Section 2 Nontraumatic Hemorrhage and Vascular Lesions 4 Approach to Nontraumatic Hemorrhage and Vascular Lesions 5 Spontaneous Parenchymal Hemorrhage 6 Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Aneurysms 7 Vascular Malformations 8 Arterial Anatomy and Strokes 9 Venous Anatomy and Occlusions 10 Vasculopathy Section 3 Infection, Inflammation, and Demyelinating Diseases 11 Approach to Infection, Inflammation, and Demyelination 12 Congenital, Acquired Pyogenic, and Acquired Viral Infections 13 Tuberculosis and Fungal, Parasitic, and Other Infections 14 HIV/AIDS 15 Demyelinating and Inflammatory Diseases Section 4 Neoplasms, Cysts, and Tumor-Like Lesions 16 Introduction to Neoplasms, Cysts, and Tumor-Like Lesions 17 Astrocytomas 18 Nonastrocytic Glial Neoplasms 19 Neuronal and Glioneuronal Tumors 20 Pineal and Germ Cell Tumors 21 Embryonal Neoplasms 22 Tumors of the Meninges 23 Nerve Sheath Tumors 24 Lymphomas and Hematopoietic and Histiocytic Tumors 25 Sellar Neoplasms and Tumor-Like Lesions 26 Miscellaneous Tumors and TumorLike Conditions 27 Metastases and Paraneoplastic Syndromes 28 Nonneoplastic Cysts Section 5 Toxic, Metabolic, Degenerative, and CSF Disorders 29 Approach to Toxic, Metabolic, Degenerative, and CSF Disorders 30 Toxic Encephalopathy 31 Inherited Metabolic Disorders 32 Acquired Metabolic and Systemic Disorders 33 Dementias and Brain Degenerations 34 Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders Section 6 Congenital Malformations ofthe Skull and Brain 35 Embryology and Approach to Congenital Malformations 36 Posterior Fossa Malformations 37 Commissural and Cortical Maldevelopment 38 Holoprosencephalies, Related Disorders, and Mimics 39 Familial Cancer Predisposition Syndromes 40 Vascular Neurocutaneous Syndromes 41 Anomalies of the Skull and Meninges Index Welcome to Essentials of Osborn’s Brain! When I wrote the first edition ofOsborn’s Brain in 2013, it was written as a curriculum in neuroradiology withthe “must know—now!” topics, such as brain trauma, strokes, and hemorrhagecovered in the first few chapters of the text. At nearly 1,300 pages, the 2018updated second edition was a comprehensive and very detailed delineation ofbrain pathology and imaging...more than even the most dedicated residentsand fellows could absorb.Hence the idea to edit and consolidate the most important concepts of Osborn’sBrain, second edition into a shorter, more “digestible” text aimed at residentsand fellows in radiology, neurology, and neurosurgery. We have constructed ayear-by-year (or rotation-by-rotation) study guide that takes a trainee throughthe essentials but also enhances learning with complementary assignmentsfrom STATdx and RadPrimer, invaluable resources that are available throughmany institutional training programs. We’ve also scoured the web for free,universally accessible programs that supplement reading assignments andprovide active links to the websites.So let me be your guide to exploring the wonderful, fascinating world of brainanatomy, pathology, and imaging.
