Setti S Rengachary, MD, and Robert H Wilkins, MD When the first edition of this remarkable atlas came out in early 1990s, it was an instant and powerful success in the neurosurgical literature Drs Rengachary and Wilkins recognized the power of the illustrated text and in this case designed a work that was clearly visual with the text being secondary As neurosurgeons are visual animals, this was a successful design Drs Rengachary and Wilkins’ contributions to neurosurgery have been enormous It is a true pleasure to help bring this remarkable atlas back in a second edition However, it must be remembered that their original editorship led to this most elegant and influential series of operative chapters In acknowledgment of their insights, their educational leadership, and, most importantly, their longstanding contributions to neurosurgery, I dedicate this work to these two scholars and superb neurosurgeons v Contents Continuing Medical Education Credit Information and
