Dear neurosurgery resident, This book is dedicated to you, current learner and soon-to-be colleague. I don't want you to struggle as much as I once struggled to prepare for the written boards. The books available today are great resources but have a lot of knowledge gaps. This book is not meant to be a full textbook of neurosurgery, but to fill-in some of those knowledge gaps, while presenting the information in a concise and easy-to-remember format. I hope, and am sure, it will make your studying easier, more pleasant, and most importantly more efficient. Wishing you the best in your endeavors.
