Bleeding is a major factor that hinders visualization in head and
neck surgery and is a risk factor for intraoperative complications
and perioperative morbidity. Endoscopic approaches also pose
significant technical challenges to managing expected
intraoperative bleeding and vascular injury. The approach for this
publication in Otolaryngologic Clinics is to provide clinically
relevant information in a problem-based manner that encompasses
assessment to identify patients with a high risk for vascular
complications, pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative
strategies to manage expected bleeding and major vessel injury
during endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery for inflammatory and
neoplastic diseases. Clinically relevant anatomy, physiology,
pharmacology, and surgical and interventional radiology techniques
to manage bleeding are outlined and an algorithm for management of
major vessel injury such as internal carotid artery injury is
presented. Because skull base surgery is generally undertaken as a
team approach, this information is relevant to the subspecialized
ENT surgeon from rhinology or head and neck specializations, to
neurosurgeons, to interventional radiologists, and to
neurophysiologists who monitors intraoperative cerebral and cranial
nerve activity for these operations. Carl Snyderman leads this
issue with Harshita Pant and has composed topics and assembled an
expert group of practitioners to provide information. The reader
will find this a novel, focused, and indispensable resource on all
issues of hemostatis in head and neck surgery.
Experts from childrens' hospitals across the United States discuss
diagnosis, treatment, and pathophysiology of head and neck masses

Beyond relevance to Otolaryngologists, this issue of
Otolaryngologic Clinics is appropriate for cancer specialists,
pediatricians, family practitioners, general surgeons, and
pediatric nurse practitioners. Residents training in those fields,
as well as Neurosurgery and Ophthalmology, will find this
practical.

In this issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics, guest editors Drs. Joni
K. Doherty and Michael Setzen bring their considerable expertise to
the topic of Comprehensive Management of Headache for the
Otolaryngologist. As many types of headache tend to masquerade as
sinus headache, an understanding of the peripheral mechanisms of
specific headache types is essential for otolaryngologists to
effectively diagnose and treat patients, according to a study
published in the American Journal of Otolaryngology. In this issue,
top experts in the field address key issues such as novel devices
for sinus headache, headache diagnosis in children and adolescents,
headache and pregnancy, side-locked and nummular headaches, and
much more. Contains 14 relevant, practice-oriented topics including
the role of the otolaryngologist in the evaluation and management
of headache; "Sinus headache:" rhinogenic headache, nonrhinogenic
headache, or migraine; idiopathic intracranial hypertension;
neuralgia and atypical facial, ear, and head pain; and more.
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on comprehensive management of
headache, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under
the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors
synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines
to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
Ear, Nose and Throat for Medical Students: A Case Based Approach is
a novel guide aimed at improving your knowledge of common
otolaryngology disorders as well as your clinical and diagnostic
skills. The content provides a valuable aide for medical students
preparing for written finals and OSCE based examinations. The book
will also be of interest to GPs wishing to revise their ENT
knowledge, and junior doctors starting their first ENT job. The
book is helpfully divided into succinct sections, each addressing
common pathology pertaining to the ear, nose, throat, head, neck
and also paediatric otolaryngology. This book thereby covers a
large range of topics you may encounter in exams and clinical
practice, and does so in a concise, attractive and accessible
manner. Numerous fictional cases have been designed specifically to
guide you through the clinical reasoning process from start to
finish. Also included is a range of questions to supplement and
expand your knowledge of important diseases or presentations. Each
case begins with a 'Focusing question' - often regarding diagnosis
or aetiology. This is followed by a series of 'Management'
questions to test your clinical reasoning, history taking and
examination skills. The questions also provide an opportunity to
acknowledge the use and importance of investigations and devising
treatment plans. Finally, a challenging 'Additional questions'
section has been added on to several cases to complete the learning
by asking potential viva questions regarding relevant basic science
and pathophysiology. The simple-to-read layout and abundance of
clinical pictures ensures easy recall of information during
outpatient practice and examinations.
Ear, Nose and Throat surgery is a specialty that is often
inadequately covered in Medical Schools worldwide and very few
junior doctors encounter it during foundation training or
internship. As a result, there is always a sense of anxiety and a
feeling of entering the unknown when junior doctors, such as core
surgical trainees, GP trainees, Foundation and Emergency doctors
see patients with ENT conditions requiring urgent care. Currently,
there is no concise guide book to address this fundamental issue
without subjecting the reader to hours and hours of trawling
through lengthy didactic text. With this in mind, and utilising the
principles of Pointillism, the authors have put together an
excellent succinct guide. The book is divided into five chapters,
each consisting of urgent care conditions pertaining to (1) Ear,
(2) Nose and Bronchus, (3) Throat and Oesophagus, (4) Neck and Head
or (5) Complications of Treatment. All the essential information is
clearly provided in 5 logical management steps: history,
examination investigation(s), treatment and follow-up. Additional
relevant points, tables and figures are provided to further enhance
your understanding and retention of the subject matter. Like the
previous two books from ENT TZAR team, this guide is lavishly
illustrated with clinical photographs to optimise learning and
confidence to deal with the challenges of managing urgent care
conditions in Otolaryngology.

Vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance rank amongst the most common
presenting symptoms in neurology, ENT, geriatric medicine, and
general practice. These symptoms can originate from many different
organs and systems, such as the inner ear, general medical
conditions, neurological and psychological disorders. The Oxford
Textbook of Vertigo and Imbalance provides an up-to-date summary of
the scientific basis, clinical diagnosis, and management of
disorders leading to dizziness and poor balance. This textbook is
conceptually divided into three sections, detailing the scientific
basis, general clinical issues, and specific diseases diagnosed in
clinical practice that are responsible for complaints of dizziness
and imbalance. Individual chapters address benign paroxysmal
positional vertigo, vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis,
stroke, and Meniere's disease. Additional chapters follow a
syndrome-based approach and cover multiple conditions, including
cerebellar disorders, bilateral vestibular failure and gait, and
psychological disorders. The print edition is complemented by an
online version, which allows access to the full content of the
textbook, contains links from the references to primary research
journal articles, allows full text searches, and provides access to
figures and tables that can be downloaded to PowerPoint. It serves
a useful clinical reference for neurologists,
otorhinolaryngologists, audio-vestibular physicians, and senior
trainees in those specialties.
