239 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Neuro-otology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the study and treatment of disorders related to the inner ear and the nervous system's involvement in balance and hearing. It comprises a wide range of conditions, including vertigo, dizziness, hearing loss, and vestibular disorders. Neuro-otologists make use of a multidisciplinary approach, combining aspects of neurology, otolaryngology (the study of ear, nose, and throat), neurosurgery, and physical therapy to diagnose and manage these complex conditions. Advanced diagnostic techniques such as electronystagmography and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials are commonly used to assess vestibular function. Treatment options may include medication, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, surgical interventions, and other specialized interventions tailored to the individual patient's needs. Neuro-otology plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life for individuals affected by balance and hearing disorders. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of neuro-otology. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of this field, and its applications in medical science. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
