Description
Book SynopsisWhile written principally for otologists in training, this stunningly illustrated volume provides much information for audiologists in recognizing and understanding common and rare conditions such as cholesteatoma, perforations, aural polyps, middle ear effusion, bubbles, glomus tumour, and more. The authors demonstrate that careful examination of the external ear can yield a wealth of information pertaining to the condition of the external ear canal, the tympanic membrane and the middle ear, presenting a range of otoscopic images, each uniquely and clearly captioned and labeled to illuminate each illustration and the anomalies therein.
Trade Review"This extensive photographic atlas of otoscopy provides a thorough collection of pictures covering the ear canal, tympanic membrane, and the middle ear. The purpose is to provide a tool for otologic, pediatric, and internal medicine practitioners, residents, and students to aid in diagnosis. The authors' worthy objectives are met...This is a useful reference to aid in the diagnosis of otologic diseases..." --Alan Micco, M.D., Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Doody's Review Service
