It begins by explaining the physiology and clinical features of raised intracranial pressure (ICP), detailing its assessment and management. The source then addresses hydrocephalus, distinguishing between obstructive and communicating types, and discussing their causes, symptoms, and various treatment methods, including shunt procedures and their potential complications. Subsequently, it covers intracranial infections, focusing on meningitis and brain abscesses, outlining their typical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and treatment protocols. This also explores vascular neurosurgery, discussing subarachnoid and intracerebral haemorrhages, along with various vascular malformations, their diagnosis, and management strategies. Finally, it examines brain tumours, categorising them by origin and grade, describing their presentation, and detailing common types such as gliomas and meningiomas, before concluding with a section on paediatric neurosurgery and functional neurosurgery for conditions like epilepsy and movement disorders.
