This work contains up-to-date presentations by contributors from several medical specialties on the incidence, clinical manifestations and neuropathology of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The various mechanisms of brain injury caused by SAH, and detailed management strategies are also covered. Finally, future directions are discussed.

First published in 1991, the Neurosurgical Operative Atlas is a world-renowned series which describes today’s most effective, proven techniques in neurosurgery. The Neurosurgical Operative Atlas is produced as an annual volume and has been used to educate medical professionals for the last decade. Each chapter covers a specific condition, or surgical procedure and is written by leading surgeons in field.
