"Many of the authors managed to articulate the clinical decisions that they found difficult and in doing so offer the distillation of their clinical experience, some with very clear messages such as do not do endoscopic third ventriculostomy in normal pressure hydrocephalus. This is a comprehensive multi-author text covering paediatric and adult CSF disorders. It captures the state of knowledge in this area, and highlights where this is limited, but still manages to provide reasoned practical advice on management."
