The aim of this book is to cover the domain of craniofacial surgery focusing on neurological and neurosurgical issues. It will offer neurosurgeons and allied specialists a practical way to  manage these complex and common malformations in a timely and appropriate way. At the same time, they will be provided the knowledge necessary to understand the functional aspects of these diseases, their anatomical and dynamic impact on the underlying cerebral and vascular structures as well as the cerebrospinal fluid pathways, to overcome the limits of the mere morphological and esthetical correction.

 Written by experts in the field, the book will represent a reference resource not only for pediatric neurosurgeons and plastic and reconstructive maxillofacial surgeons, but also for all neurosurgeons, residents, and fellows working in this area.
