Features: The rapid development of modern medicine has placed increasingly high demands on the accuracy of medical imaging diagnosis. The advancement of cranial base surgery and the discovery of new surgical approaches require a more detailed understanding of the anatomy of the cranial base and its related structures. Currently, there is no specialized monograph in China dedicated to the cranial base and its associated structures. This book provides comprehensive content with vividly colored illustrations, making it intuitive and easy to understand. It primarily describes the bony structures of the cranial base and the surrounding soft tissues, including the brain, blood vessels, dura mater, fascia, connective tissues, and skin. The content is closely integrated with clinical surgical approaches, systematic, and highly practical. It serves as an excellent guide and reference for cranial base surgeons and clinical physicians, and can also be used as a practical toolbook for neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, neuroradiologists, maxillofacial surgeons, neurologists, medical imaging diagnosticians, anatomists, and physiologists. The book covers all aspects related to the cranial base and the craniovertebral junction, as well as potentially involving different surgical approaches to various cranial base regions. The surgical approaches described in the book not only include microscopic anatomy of the bony structures but also all soft tissues, such as skin, muscles, dura mater, fascia, cranial nerves, and blood vessels, as well as their relationships with surrounding brain structures. The close integration with clinical surgical approaches is a key feature of this book. This innovative work enables surgeons to quickly and flexibly select the most appropriate surgical approach from a wide range of options.
