Dr Jiro Suzuki is the editor of this 751-page compendium on the subject of cerebral aneurysms. He has been assisted by Dr Shigeaki Hori. The contributors constitute an impressive list of 60 authors, mostly Japanese, who review the history of aneurysm surgery and explore new aspects of the problem, with particular emphasis on early surgery.

The historical review of surgery of intracranial aneurysms is well done. Epidemiologic studies are reported. It is a matter of record that the morbidity and mortality figures for Japan indicate a high incidence of cerebrovascular disease and that aneurysms constitute approximately 10% of these. The authors conclude that subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs more often in hypertensive patients and borderline hypertensives than in normotensives. Factors responsible for rupture include lifting, bending, defecation, urination, and emotional strain. The pathological anatomy is illustrated. Infundibular dilations are discussed briefly. The immediate and late symptoms of subarachnoid hemorrhage are covered appropriately. . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
