Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book investigates most of the masses found above the clavicle in children. … This book may be used at all levels of training (student, resident, attending) … . The book is nicely illustrated with high-quality photographs. This is a nice introductory compendium to cranial/cervical surgical lesions in children.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2014)Editors and Affiliations
