Dear Friends, Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Scientific Committee I am very honored to welcome you to the    International Cerebrovascular and Skull Base Workshop, Prague 2010.
Following International Neurosurgical Winter Congresses in Torino 2005, Zermatt 2007, Salt Lake City 2009 and summer Workshop in Roma 2008 we have another outstanding opportunity to share our current opinions and our endeavor for international neurosurgical friendship.
The promoter of this Workshop is Prof. Takanori Fukushima, the Czech Skull Base Study Group and the Czech Neurosurgical Society.
The Satellite Skull Base Microanatomy Hans-on Dissection Course (June 15-16, 2010) has the patronage of the WFNS Skull Base Surgery Committee.
I would like to invite you to ancient and magic Prague for an intensive meeting and sharp informal discussion about
the new concepts and challenges in cerebrovascular and skull base surgery. This workshop should open new horizons and experience for prestigious guest, but also for our young colleagues, so please bring your talented residents to this workshop.
We have prepared an exciting social program for you - the River Boat Trip with a dixieland band and Prague Castle Gala Dinner with Czech historical dance and music.
We sincerely welcome you to Prague.
