Atlas of the Facial Nerve and Related Structures

Nobutaka Yoshioka, MD, PhD and Albert L. Rhoton Jr., MD

have created an anatomical atlas of astounding precision. An unparalleled

teaching tool, this atlas opens a unique window into the anatomical intricacies

of complex facial nerves and related structures.

An internationally renowned author, educator, brain anatomist, and

neurosurgeon, Dr. Rhoton is regarded by colleagues as one of the fathers of

modern microscopic neurosurgery. Dr. Yoshioka, an esteemed craniofacial

reconstructive surgeon in Japan, mastered this precise dissection technique

while undertaking a fellowship at Dr. Rhoton's microanatomy lab, writing in the

preface that within such precision images lies potential for surgical

innovation.

Special Features:

Exquisite color photographs, prepared from carefully dissected latex

injected cadavers, reveal anatomy layer by layer, with remarkable detail and

clarity. An added highlight, 3-D versions of these extraordinary

images are available online in the Thieme MediaCenter.Major sections

include intracranial region and skull, upper facial and midfacial region, and

lower facial and posterolateral neck region.



Organized by region, each layered dissection elucidates specific nerves and

structures with pinpoint accuracy, providing the clinician with in-depth

anatomical insights. Precise clinical explanations accompany each photograph. In

tandem, the images and text provide an excellent foundation for understanding

the nerves and structures impacted by neurosurgical-related pathologies as well

as other conditions and injuries.

An exceptionally stunning anatomical reference, this book is a must-have

reference for residents, and advanced clinicians specializing in neurosurgery,

facial plastic surgery, otolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, and craniofacial

surgery.
