Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student is able to know the fundamental guidelines of diagnosis and therapy of the main pathologies of the central SN of neurosurgical interest such as: malignant and benign brain tumors; cerebral vascular malformations (aneurysms, angiomas and cerebral cavernomas); cranial-brain trauma; degenerative diseases of the cervical spine and medullary tumors; hydrocephalus and intracranial hypertension syndrome. Interactive exchanges with students (questions and answers at the end of each lesson) will evaluate the level of understanding on the part of the students. Particular attention will be given to the early and rapid diagnosis of emergency situations such as cranioencephalic trauma, subarachnoid hemorrhages, intracranial hypertension syndromes in children and adults and their "alarm symptoms".
