The annual meeting of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Neurochirurgie was held in Bonn on the 4-7 May 1986. It was the first time the socie­ ty has met there since it was founded in that city in 1950. This 15th volume of the Advances in Neurosurgery contains the papers read there on the chief topics. The first main topic covered is one of the basic aspects of our neuro­ surgical activity - the regulation of cerebral circulation and brain metabolism - and was the object of lively discussions between neuro­ physiologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons. The second main topic, the neurosurgical treatment of epilepsy, has gained new importance be­ cause of the new visualizing procedures. The future will show whether the treatment results of the past can be improved by employing these new procedures. The third topic, rehabilitation following neurosurgi­ cal diseases, served to demonstrate the organizational and therapeutic problems which make it difficult for patients thus injured to rejoin society. Last but not least, young neurosurgeons were given the oppor­ tunity to present their research in short papers and posters. The publication of all these presentations would exceed the boundaries of the Advances. However, it is to be hoped that at least some of these good to excellent reports will find publication elsewhere. As in earlier years, the annual meeting of the German Association of Neurosurgical Nursing was held at the same time as 'that of the German Society for neurosurgery.
