About this book
Neurosurgery Infographics, edited by Nitin Agarwal, MD, MBA, FACS, and David T. Fernandes Cabral, MD, distills the breadth of neurosurgery into a reader-friendly compilation of visual abstracts. The book pairs concise narrative with high-impact illustrations so learners can grasp essential concepts at a glance — and dig deeper when time allows.
Organized by anatomic region — brain, spine, and peripheral nerves — the volume features over 100 peer-reviewed infographics that span the most common disorders and procedures encountered in neurosurgical practice. It is intended as a quick-review companion for medical students preparing for rounds, away rotations, sub-internships, and OR cases, as well as a refresher for junior residents and advanced practice providers.
A digital companion is also available on Thieme MedOne as The Infographic Guide to Neurosurgery, extending the visual abstracts to an interactive online resource.
