Appendices 451 Index 473 b1009_FM.qxd 11/12/2010 10:48 AM Page xiii b1009 Problem Based Neurosurgery Preface Problem based neurosurgery is a systematic approach to diagnosis, under- standing and management of neurosurgical diseases based on symptoms and signs of disease and using common sense and the art of applying scientific knowledge to practice. In producing this book I took the common sense approach, my patients presented me with a set of symptoms and signs creating a prob- lem that needed diagnosis and management plans. My students and residents had asked me questions. It is these presentations and questions that formed the foundation problems in this book. I concentrated on core and common neurosurgical problems that constituted the majority of neu- rosurgical practice. When one’s goal is to be concise, it is not possible to include every detail in this text. I envisaged that the main users of this book will be those studying neurosurgery, and neurology and those train- ing in neurosurgery, emergency medicine, ENT, ophthalmology, general medicine, general surgery, orthopaedic surgery, and radiology and doctors in their foundation years and those practicing in the community. Thanks for using this text.
