Product Description
Here is a highly practical reference for diagnosing and managing some of the most common complaints in the otolaryngology patient--vertigo, disequilibrium, and dizziness. This carefully organized reference begins by presenting descriptions of time-tested examination techniques, laboratory tests, and the imaging studies necessary for an accurate diagnosis. The book then addresses the various diseases causing these complaints, including Meniere's disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, labyrinthitis, migraine-include vestibulopahty, and more, with concise explanations of medical, surgical, and therapeutic treatment options available. An accompying DVD features high-quality videos of key examination tests, such as ENG, Hallpike positioning, adn Epley's maneuver. The videos document the numerous nystagmus patterns caused by various central pathologies and peripheral vestibulopathies, providing an exceptional tooll for learning how to recognize eye movements to confirm a diagnosis. Features: * A full review of anatomy and physiology provides the essential framework for the clinical examination and comprehension of disease processes * Broad discussion of the multifactorial etiologies of dizziness provides a conceptual basis for diagnosis and determining best course of treatment * A valuable appendix with sample questions for taking a thorough patient history aids the assessment of the severity of symptoms Vertigo and Disequilibrium: A Practical Guide to Diagnosis and Management is an essential resource for all otolaryngologists, neurologists, vestibular therapists, residents, and physicians treating patients with dizziness.

The Best Current Book On Balance Disorders September 27, 2008
I would have given this book five stars, except it is quite dry at times.
It is a really complete review of dizzyness and balance disorders. Don't be dissapointed by how thin it is when you get it - it is packed with information. The DVD is also excellent - it is not a copy of the book, it shows clinical signs that are impossible to describe - all types of nystagmus, saccades, Dix-Halpike manouver, etc.. If you are planning to start a balance disorder clinic, get this book - period.
