Preface

A desire to help students and physicians to understand the complexity of the peripheral nervous system in relation to the diagnosis and treatment inspired us to write this book. It might be the illustrative enhancement in the context of the undergraduate study for students as well as for postgraduate education for doctors. Figures, though intricate at a glance, are sufficiently illustrative, helping a neurologist, neurosurgeon, and doctors of other specialties to illuminate in the memory anatomical variabilities of the intraspinal peripheral nervous system. References in the text were specified only where it was necessary. The extent of the monograph is not large, but it is meant to be a contribution to the knowledge of the full width of intraspinal anatomical variabilities. The book is based on the experience and specific work of the authors and the complement of the previous monographs dealing with the variability of the
