Description
Book SynopsisThis book combines the complexities of neuro-ophthalmologic and neuro-otologic disorders into one concise guidebook. It focuses on the basics of these two challenging subspecialties, encountered by the neurologist, ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist, neurosurgeon, emergency medicine provider, and others.
Comprehensive and succinct, the book contains chapters examining representative case vignettes that highlight typical historical elements and exam findings that aid in diagnosing a specific disease, disorder, or syndrome. Before each heading, chapters offer a brief review of relevant anatomy, physiology, and examination techniques. Additionally, symptom-based tables guide the practitioner to a focused history and examination for rapid real-time triage and diagnosis.
Practical and case-based,
Neuro-Ophthalmology and Neuro-Otology is an invaluable resource for practitioners, trainees, and residents in various fields.
Trade Review“This book is a wealth of information about our niche, often overlooked, subspecialty delivered in this one comprehensive text. Daniel Gold is in a unique position, sitting firmly in both vestibular neurology and neuro-ophthalmology camps, and his expansive clinical knowledge in this regard is shared with clarity in this equally unique text. This book should sit proudly on the shelf (or e-shelf!) of all audiovestibular trainees like me and would also suit clinicians in multiple other allied specialties.” (Surangi Mendis, ENT & audiology news, entandaudiologynews.com, November 3, 2022)
