Description

Derived from Harvey Cushing’s remarkable personal collection within the Brain
Tumor Registry, The Legacy of Harvey Cushing: Profiles of Patient Care presents a stunning historical account of Cushing’s surgical
cases and research from 1905 to 1930.

This beautifully illustrated book features
800 of Cushing’s surgical drawings and photographs of patients and tumor
specimens. Preserved untouched for sixty years within the Yale University Library,
the images give you the earliest catalog of neurological and neuropathological
disease and reveal the techniques employed by the founder of up to date
neurosurgery. The editors have carefully integrated these top quality
photographs and illustrations into a compelling narrative constituted of
patients’ hospital records and Cushing’s meticulous notes at preoperative and
postoperative stages of management. Discharge notes, letters from the circle of relatives of
patients, photographs of patients years after surgery, and death reports further
humanize every clinical case and speak to Cushing’s lasting dedication to his
patients.

The book provides a glimpse of the atypical contribution that
both Cushing and his patients made to the progress of neurological surgery in
the twentieth century. This unique book will likely be prized by these days’s generation of
neurological surgeons and neuropathologists.

A co-publication of Thieme and the
American Association of Neurological Surgeons
