Special consideration for fetal§surgery has been added, whereas the section on neonatal hydrocephalus has been§further developed. Section 4, on the different pathologies associated with§hydrocephalus, has been significantly expanded. and is now amazingly detailed,§as well as the section on shunt treatment. Infections are now dealt with in two§different chapters, and special attention to shunt complications (the nightmare§of every Pediatric Neurosurgeon.) is paid in five different chapters. A very§complete overview of the endoscopic treatment, that will surely draw the§reader's attention thanks to the wonderful full color images, is also§included. Written by acknowledged experts in the field, this title is an indispensable§tool for all those facing this pathology in their daily practice.§§
