The book provides the essential information that enables the physician or resident to

Designed for quick, easy reference in the clinical setting, this handbook is a practical,

The book provides the essential information that enables the physician or resident to
determine which diagnostic tests to order, identify the cause of the vertigo, and develop a
systematic treatment plan using simple measures first and more elaborate interventions
when necessary.
A concise review of vestibular anatomy and physiology gives clinicians the necessary
background to correlate symptoms with pathophysiology. A thorough discussion of clini-
cal evaluation describes the neurotological examination, the tests used to evaluate the
vestibular and auditory systems, and the radiologic and laboratory studies used in the
workup of vertiginous patients. Two chapters focus on the peripheral vestibular and
central disorders that cause vertigo, emphasizing key clinical features that distinguish
them.
The methodically organized coverage of therapy for Meniere's disease and other
vestibular disorders begins with medical interventions and progresses to surgical
treatments.
Throughout, the authors stress the use of conservative therapy initially and offer pre-
cise guidelines for determining whether, when, and what type of surgery is needed.
Close attention is given to particularly controversial areas such as benefits and results of
endolymphatic shunt surgery and indications for perilymph fistula surgery. Case studies
are presented in the final chapter. Vissza
