Spinal Meningiomas

Spinal Meningiomas by A. Pansini, F. Lo Re, P. Conti, E. Montali, G- De Luca.

Since Harvey Cushing's extensive study on brain meningiomas no similar study has been conducted on spinal cord meningiomas. The high scientific value of this book is based on the careful elaboration of data from patients affected by spinal meningiomas who have been examined and operated on over...
