This book presents a comprehensive overview of the basic science and current clinical knowledge on cavernous malformations of the brain and spinal cord. It begins by covering general aspects of the disease. Separate chapters then address the various types of cavernous malformations, thoroughly describing the clinical presentation and management approaches for each clinical situation.
Reviewer:Celso Agner, MD, MSc(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)
Description:Cavernous malformations, a subtype of vascular malformation frequently seen in patients in neurological and neurosurgical practices, are responsible for hemorrhages, focal neurological deficits, and seizures. This book discusses the natural history, clinical presentation, and management of these conditions.
Purpose:The purpose is to address the current approaches to the diagnosis and management of cerebral and spinal cavernous malformations. These objectives are fully met by the authors.
Audience:Neurosurgeons and neurologists are the main audience for this book.
Features:In a well structured book, the more than 40 authors combine natural history, clinical presentation, and challenging scenarios related to the clinical and surgical management of intracranial and spinal cavernous malformations. Since cavernous malformations may coexist with developmental venous anomalies and capillary teleangiectasias, one of the chapters interestingly proposes a possible relationship among these three as different stages of the same process. All chapters have a plethora of good illustrations to complement the well written and well referenced text. Whenever appropriate, the authors present their clinical and surgical experiences with the management of intracranial and spinal cavernous angiomas, enhancing the presentation.
Assessment:This is an excellent neurological and neurosurgical resource that should be in major academic libraries serving those departments.

Cavernous Malformations of the Brain and Spinal Cord
I still can't decide where I fall: while it seems pretty clear exploitation is what's taking place, is it preferable to allow it to proceed given the paternalistic nature of disallowing it and yes, the benefits it can lead to or should it be regulated (resolutioned) against due to the precedent of immorality it sets? Three arguments resonated with me, although one is a daydream.
1) "We should not confuse our moral worries about the objective circumstances in which people find themselves with worries about their capacity or right to make decisions about their lives within those circumstances." (Wertheimer)
2) "The only time we should be conducting clinical research trials among impoverished communities that offer less than the world's best treatment in the control arm is when doing so is needed to help those in similar health circumstances (and not, say, because using this population provides an especially cheap way to collect clean data for those who do not suffer the 'useful' deprivation)." (Carse & Little)
3) A la Kant, "We need to show humility in our condemnations of those who exploit the impoverished, as it is our indifference to the true needs of the poor that sows much of the ground of exploitation. We must also exercise caution when legislating against exploitation, for the perverse reality is that the best prospect some persons currently have for improving their lives is to submit to exploitative exchanges. While our indignation at those who exploit the poor is certainly warranted, it is not until the day arrives that our indignation is accompanied by shame that we can hope for real progress." (Siegel)
