Book synopsis

The text will begin with a current understanding of vestibular anatomy allowing for a framework of reference. This anatomy will then be applied to diagnostic vestibular testing. Vestibular testing is an important tool in the evaluation and management of the patient with dizziness. It aids in establishing a diagnosis and determining the side or site of the lesion. In addition, it guides practitioners in selection of treatment and allows the ability of the patient's condition to be evaluated over its time course. Common vestibular pathologies such as benign positional vertigo, Meniere's disease, multisensory imbalance, vestibular neuritis, superior canal dehiscence, and vestibular migraine will be addressed in a concise and understandable manner. The text will follow a clear format in which the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic features and medical or surgical management of such pathologies are discussed. The book gains increased importance as superior canal dehiscence and vestibular migraine are relatively new hot topics. They are subjects important to the field, however without summary review of the large amount of peer-reviewed publication recently created. Lastly, relatively rare entities such as bilateral vestibular hypofunction, pediatric vestibular disorders and central vestibular disorders will be discussed in brevity allowing for the creation of comprehensive textbook. This text will serve as a complete reference for clinicians, students and researchers interested in this common and severe disorder allowing for improved patient care and advancement of knowledge in the field. Chapters will be written by top experts, allowing summary review of the newest and most up to date understanding of scientific information. The audience for this text will include Otolaryngologists, Neurologists, Otologists and Neurotologists, basic science and translational researchers with interests in the vestibular system, fellows and residents in aforementioned fields, and general practitioners with an interest in patients with symptoms of dizziness.
