A Clinical Handbook

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers the clinical evaluation, testing, and management of patients suffering from dizziness, which is an immense and underserved population. It provides specialists (otolaryngologists, neurologists) and generalists (internal medicine, emergency medicine) with an accessible resource for diagnosing and managing these patients.

After the Introduction, the book is divided into three sections. The first includes chapters on Diagnoses with each containing an overview followed by epidemiology, mechanism of disease, clinical history, physical examination, ocular motor examination, instrumented audiologic and vestibular testing, imaging, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. The second section has chapters focused on Testing, which includes particular physical examination techniques, instrumented oculomotor examination, otovestibular testing, and imaging. The chapters in the final section cover Treatments.

The goal of this unique book is to present as much physiology as is needed to explain the mechanism of disease, why it presents in the way that it does, and the rationale for treatments.
