This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date general information and evaluation of the diagnostic and therapeutic options available to individuals suffering from neurotologic diseases. Neurotology is a fast-developing area of science. Even fundamental terminology, such as the meaning of vestibular symptoms, has only recently been established due to the rapid development of vestibular research.
This volume discusses the fundamental sciences, and the clinical application of treatments in neurotology, as well as the most recent research. It is aimed at assisting physicians in making the most effective judgments regarding the management of care for their patients. Diagnosing patients with vestibular symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, unsteadiness, and oscillopsia requires consideration of symptoms and indicators of neurotologic illnesses. The majority of diagnoses may be made right at the patient's side. A grasp of important diagnostic concepts is vital for all practicing neurologists, who regularly assess whether such patients merit immediate diagnostic testing or hospital admission.
This book emphasizes understanding how to take a focused medical history and perform a thorough physical examination on a patient experiencing vestibular symptoms or suspected of having a neurotologic condition.
This up-to-date reference should be part of the collections of all otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, audiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and residents interested in providing the best possible care for patients.
