"Overall, Neurosurgery by Example: Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery is a succinctly written, well-illustrated, all-encompassing, welcomed addition to the educational literature in neurovascular surgery. It will undoubtedly be of immense value to those who learn from it and will serve as a cornerstone in any neurovascular surgeon's library." - Brian M. Howard, Neurosurgery
