Short description:
Part of the Oxford Neurology Library (ONL) series, this pocketbook helps clinicians to improve their management of patients with vertigo and dizziness by providing an overview of clinical vestibular physiology and the latest developments in bedside examination, diagnosis/differential diagnosis, and state-of-the-art therapy.
Long description:
Vertigo and dizziness rate among the most frequently occurring presenting complaints in neurology and in general medical practice. Since most patients do not have acute complaints at the time of examination, the clinician requires keen judgment in making a diagnosis, as patients often report confusing, real, or hypothetical causes of their problems. An improvement in the scientific understanding of vestibular physiology in recent years has led to the development of new diagnostic tests and more effective therapies. However, many of these advances have been slow to be adopted into routine clinical practice.
Part of the Oxford Neurology Library (ONL) series, Vertigo and Dizziness helps clinicians improve their management of patients with these conditions. The text provides an overview of clinical vestibular physiology as well as of the latest developments in bedside examination, diagnosis/differential diagnosis, and state-of-the-art therapy. Vertigo and Dizziness serves as an essential clinical guide for neurologists, otorhinolaryngologists, and trainees in those disciplines, and for general practitioners and medical students.
This is an essential and reasonably priced clinical pocket guide from the Oxford Neurology Library for those working with patients experiencing vertigo and dizziness - two of the most frequent complaints in neurology and general medical practice.

Table of Contents:
Introduction: Neurotology is about neurology for ENT specialists; about ENT for neurologists, and about both specialities for general practitioners.
Dizziness as emergency: Simple, fast bedside tests to differentiate between potentially dangerous and peripheral causes in the emergency room and general practice
Vestibular physiology: The basics presented accessibly
History of complaints as a diagnostic tool:First episode, recurrent attacks, chronic dizziness, triggers, onset and types
Examination methods: Bedside tests; new innovative instrumental vestibular testing (3 dimensional head impulse test and evoked responses)
Three frequent peripheral causes of dizziness and vertigo: Effective therapy of Meni?res disease and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo; differential diagnosis of vestibular neuritis
Chronic vestibular insufficiency: Complaints and causes
Diseases of the temporal bone: Fractures, pathological third windows on the labyrinth, schwannoma
Central causes of vertigo, dizziness and imbalance: Migraine, TIA, stroke, ataxias and other neurological vestibular syndromes
Medical, non-vestibular causes of dizziness or vertigo: Frequent, potentially life threatening and benign, self-limiting systemic causes
Diagnosis of falls, dizziness in children and elderly: Benign and more urgent causes of falls, classification and prevention
Controversial issues: Vestibular paroxysmia, cervical vertigo, spontaneous perilymphatic fistula:do they exist? New theories about chronic postural/positional vertigo and dizziness
