Abstract

Nanomedicine is rapidly evolving science that deals with development and application of nanotechnologies in clinical medicine. Neurosurgery is one of the most advanced medical fields and there are no doubts that in the nearest future nanotechnological advances will be widely used in this sphere. Treatment of such neurological diseases as tumors, stroke, trauma and their consequences is not always effective. Nanotechnologies offer new interesting solutions to some of these problems. Main advances of nanotechnology and nanomedicine, which are relevant to neurosurgery, are reviwed.
