In a well illustrated and well laid out format, Drs. Binder, Sonne and Fischbein discuss and illustrate critical issues in evaluating the cranial nerves in their newly published book Cranial Nerves: Anatomy, Pathology, Imaging. This soft cover, 248-page book deals — as one would expect — with each cranial nerve in a separate chapter. In addition to those 12 chapters, there are sections on the brain stem, the pupil, the parasympathetic ganglia, and functional reflexes associated with individual cranial nerves. The chapters are dealt with in a similar manner — i.e. sub sections within each chapter concerning function, anatomy, and MR images (mainly) of lessons involving that cranial nerve. The number of cases related to each cranial nerve varies, with, for example, 15 cases shown under the trigeminal nerve and 6 cases under the abducens nerve. This book would be useful to residents, fellows in neuroradiology, and those who may wish a review of the skull base region and the cranial nerves.
