The author presents current state art each disease shows future prospects related to experiences at Department Neurosurgery, Kyoto University. Rapid progress has opened new windows these difficult However, many problems have emerged need be solved, long-term efficacy or risk-benefit evaluation relation other strategies, particularly microsurgery. believes that steady objective is indispensable for established a mature reliable specialty.
