Book SynopsisHead and Neck Vascular Anomalies: A Practical Case-Based Approach is a useful guide to the management of lesions caused by vascular anomalies, providing specific treatment algorithms for their management. This book offers consistent and straightforward techniques to the more frequently encountered and some of the more difficult vascular anomalies. Coming from the world-renowned vascular anomalies center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, known for its clinical expertise and multi-disciplinary approach, editors Dr. Suen and Dr. Richter have over 40 years combined experience in treating these lesions. With contributed chapters from international leaders in the field, the editors present a practical guide, based upon clinical and scientific evidence, on the approach to diagnosis and management to each vascular anomaly based upon type, extent and location. The book provides a case-based approach to simple and complex lesions. Initial steps for diagnosis followed by a recommended treatment approach is presented with photographs, imaging and step-by-step illustrations to surgical or alternative therapies.All presented information is based upon current literature, providing a timeless and seamless algorithm to each lesion. Each case begins with a diagnostic approach, followed by next best steps to imaging treatment and follow up. This case-based approach is a wonderful quick resource for those physicians in a variety of specialties making clinical decisions. With the increasing number of vascular anomaly centers, and physicians participating in the care of these patients along with the recent advancements and consistency in managing these patients, the timing for this text is ideal.
Trade ReviewCourtney Erin Morgan, MD, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Doody's Review Service (July 2015) "...The audience includes any clinician taking care of patients with vascular anomalies of the head and neck. It is detailed enough for specialists such as otolaryngologists, dermatologists, pediatric surgeons, plastics surgeons, vascular surgeons, oncologists, and interventional radiologists, but it also would be helpful as a reference for clinicians in other fields who may encounter these patients...[Dr. Gresham T. Richter and Dr. James Y. Suen] bring an incredible amount of knowledge on the spectrum of disease presentation to this book. This is an invaluable book for any clinician who encounters patients with vascular anomalies of the head and neck. The case-based format provides a clear and concise presentation of the treatment and management. Though it is descriptive enough for clinicians specializing in treating these patients, the book's clear and precise style would enable clinicians of many different specialties to care for them. 4 Stars!"
