The history of Neuropathology is inseparable from that of Neurosurgery. Since the creation of Cushing΄s Tumor Registry, it has been apparent that neurosurgeons should understand the elements of diagnostic neuropathology. Over the past few decades, there have been extensive developments in histologic tools requiring lengthy specialized training for neuropathologists. The new diagnostic imaging techniques enable clinicians to discover and locate numerous lesions other than tumors and abscesses. The imaging advances also allow the evolution of the lesions to be studied. This chapter focuses on the neuropathologic approaches that neurosurgical trainees should understand. The following three questions should be answered, (1) How is histo-pathologic diagnosis made? (2) How can one understand the changing diagnostic terminology? (3) What are the limitations of histopathologic diagnosis of surgical specimens? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
