✦ Synopsis

"This represents the definitive textbook in the field of neurotology." (Doody's) This unique volume bridges the gap between medical neurology, neurosurgery, and otolaryngology. For this must-have reference, 121 leading experts synthesize the current body of knowledge in the rapidly growing field of neurotology, providing state-of-the-art guidelines for clinical diagnosis and management. The New Edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect all of the very latest developments in research and practice.Explores otologic manifestations of neurological disease.Describes the electrophysiological diagnosis of neurotologic disorders.Presents step-by-step guidance on surgical management, including procedures for treating tumors of the cerebellopontine angle and skull base.Presents hundreds of skillful medical illustrations that depict complex neurotologic concepts and procedures with great clarity.Delivers new chapters covering recent advances in areas such as molecular genetics, brain plasticity, neuroscience, microsurgery, and surgical navigation.Offers greatly enhanced coverage of MR Imaging, a modality that has enabled earlier and more accurate diagnosis of many otologic syndromes.Explores otologic manifestations of neurological disease.Describes the electrophysical diagnosis of neurotologic disorders.Presents step-by-step guidance on surgical management, including procedures for treating tumors of the cerebellopontine angle and skull base.Presents hundreds of skillful medical illustrations that depict complex neurotologic concepts and procedures with great clarity.
