Series Introduction Neurointervention in the Medical Specialties provides a remarkably detailed and comprehensive review of the state of the art in this very innovative and burgeoning field. As stated by the editors, neurointervention is a coming together of the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, and neuroradiology which, in a relatively short period of time, has greatly expanded therapeutic options for a number of previously untreatable conditions. More than a manual concerning vascular neurointerventions of one type or another, it also covers important areas of interest to other medical and surgical subspecialties such as preoperative tumor embolization, interventional approaches to ophthalmological and otolaryngological disorders, the role of Wada testing in epilepsy surgery, the role of neurointervention in Cushing’s Syndrome, and even the potential future for catheter delivery of stem cell therapy. The opening chapter concerning “the neurointerventional tool kit” sets the stage for the very specific and highly useful information which characterizes all of the chapters in this volume. Ample numbers of illustrative figures and case discussions are provided which greatly enhance the delivery of this material. This is a highly useful and down to earth overview of the field which will be of great interest to all practitioners in the field.
