  • Chiari Malformation, An Issue of Neurosurgery Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 26-4
    • Jeffrey Leonard
    • English
    This issue will cover chiari malformation in both children and adult populations. In the past, it was estimated that the condition occurs in about one in every 1,000 births. However, the increased use of diagnostic imaging has shown that CM may be much more common. Complicating this estimation is the fact that some children who are born with the condition may not show symptoms until adolescence or adulthood, if at all. CMs occur more often in women than in men and Type II malformations are more prevalent in certain groups, including people of Celtic descent.

The new edition presents precisely and visually the various anatomical structures with the help of more than 130 colour illustrations and close to 900 black and white photographs. For every photograph showing an anatomical structure accessible to palpation, a model whose physique shows the structure clearly has been chosen. Each chapter has up to four subsections, treating the various aspects of each body region. These cover osteology, myology (musculotendinous structures), arthrology (joints and ligaments) and lastly nerves and blood vessels. Each photograph is carefully presented and accompanied by a section of text describing the method of approach to finding the structure concerned. Whenever necessary, reminders, essential for the proper use of the methods of approach (attachments, actions and innervations) are included. Clinical notes highlight the link between palpation and clinical diagnoses.

Fondé sur l'expérience pratique et didactique de l'auteur, qui soigne exclusivement des NAC depuis de nombreuses années, cet ouvrage détaille le normal et le pathologique à travers des chapitres transversaux qui favorisent une mémorisation aisée et une compréhension globale : mode de vie et conditions d'entretien, anatomie et physiologie, contention, examen clinique, gestes de base, sédation, analgésie et anesthésie, prophylaxie et interventions de convenance, examens radiographiques, et enfin, dominantes pathologiques.Le « coup d'oeil clinique » indispensable à une consultation réussie est apporté par plus de 500 photographies en couleur et radiographies.Cette nouvelle édition s'enrichit de deux nouveaux chapitres, l'un consacré à l'installation spécifique du vétérinaire « NAC », l'autre spécialement dédié à la radiographie dentaire du lapin. Le chapitre traitant de la radiographie dentaire du lapin, rédigé par le Dr Hugues Gaillot, est illustré de nombreuses radiographies. Il présente la technique d'examen, l'anatomie radiographique dentaire, les mécanismes d'apparition des troubles dentaires et les signes radiographiques de la maladie dentaire. De nombreux conseils sont également dispensés aux propriétaires afin de pouvoir répondre au mieux à leurs interrogations.
