Diagnosis and Treatment of
Vestibular Disorders
This text
reviews the current understanding of
vestibular anatomy allowing for a
framework of reference, and how it
is applied to vestibular testing,
diagnosis and management of
dizziness. Vestibular testing is an
important tool in the evaluation and
management of the patient with
dizziness. It helps in establishing
a diagnosis and determining the side
or site of the lesion. In addition,
it guides practitioners in the
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
follows 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. Finally, relatively
rare entities such as bilateral
vestibular hypofunction, pediatric
vestibular disorders and central
vestibular disorders are discussed.
This text serves 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 are written by
acknowledged experts, allowing a
summary review of the newest and
most up-to-date understanding of
scientific information.
Diagnosis
and Treatment of Vestibular
Disorders will be an invaluable
resource for 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.
