Product Description
Product Description
Peter J. Jannetta, the neurosurgeon/neuroscientist who has contributed so much to the evaluation and treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and other cranial nerve disorders brings together the most distinguished contributors in Trigeminal Neuralgia. This seminal work collates and categorizes in one succinct volume what we understand about the various forms of face pain syndromes. By providing information on former beliefs, as well as current understanding, this book provides multiple options regarding diagnosis, medical treatment and operative intervention which will help decision making, develop knowledge and improve care of patients. Trigeminal Neuralgia begins with an Introduction explaining where we were and what role those ideas have played in current thinking, all with the goal of giving the reader a basis for future thought. With each subsequent chapter - written by basic scientists and astute clinicians working in the area of facial pain - enigmas are clarified, solutions of apparently untreatable problems are presented, and a better understanding of how diagnoses and pathophysiology are evolving are presented. This is a must read for all who would learn about neurogenic facial pain.

Authoritative and Comprehensive Treatise, Dec 14 2010
By Mark E Linskey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trigeminal Neuralgia (Hardcover)
Peter Jannetta is an icon in the medical profession devoted to the care of patients with trigeminal neuralgia. He developed, perfected and promoted the procedure of microvascular compression, fostered the exploration and development of glycerol rhizotomy by one of his faculty members, astutely supported the institution of the first gamma knife stereotacic radiosurgery program in the US by one of his faculty members, and started the major support group for tirgeminal neuralgia patients and their families - TNA-The Facial Pain Association. This book is a long-awaited contribution to the medical compendium as his final trigeminal neurlagia contribution after a long and illustrious career. The author list includes the main experts internationally in each area of consideration for the disease. The list of chapter topics covers the full gamut of medical and surgical treatments for trigeminal neuralgia. The treatment of each option is fair, balanced, and comprehensive. This authoritative and complete book is a "must have" edition for the library of anyone interested in trigeminal neuralgia, including patients and families, as well as medical care givers. A "must read" for those serious about trigeminal neuralgia and the care of those afflicted with this terrible and debilitating condition.
