Skull base anatomy is extremely complex, with vital neurovascular structures passing through multiple channels and foramina. Brain tumors such as pituitary tumors, acoustic neuromas, and meningiomas are challenging to treat due to their close proximity to cranial nerves and blood vessels in the brain, neck, and spinal cord. Medical imaging is an essential tool for identifying lesions and critical adjacent structures. Detecting and precisely mapping out the extent of disease is imperative for appropriate and optimal treatment planning and ultimately patient outcome. Eugene Yu and Reza Forghani have produced an exceptional, imaging-focused guide on various neoplastic diseases affecting the skull base, with contributions from a Who's Who of prominent radiologists, head and neck surgeons, neurosurgeons, and radiation oncologists. The content is presented in a clear and concise fashion with chapters organized anatomically. From the Anterior Cranial Fossa, Nasal Cavity, and Paranasal Sinuses - to the Petroclival and Lateral Skull Base, an overview and detailed analysis is provided for each region. Key Highlights Fundamentals of skull base imaging, including recent developments in diagnostic modalities More than 400 radiographs, color anatomical drawings, and color intraoperative photos elucidate the imaging appearances of a wide spectrum of disease affecting the skull base, as well as important anatomic variants and pathways of disease spread Clinically oriented imaging approach focuses on diagnostic and prognostic features important in the evaluation of skull base abnormalities Atlas of skull base CT and MRI anatomy provides an easy to access, quick reference for identifying important anatomic landmarks Insights on the pathways of tumor growth and the role of clinical imaging in the management of skull base cancers Critical and contrasting viewpoints from multidisciplinary experts provide a well-rounded perspective This invaluable resource chronicles current knowledge in state-of-the-art skull base tumor imaging with clinical pearls on pathophysiology, prognosis, and treatment options. It is a must-have for radiology, neurosurgery, and otolaryngology residents and clinicians who care for patients with head and neck neoplasms.

In this atlas, sequential anatomical dissections are presented which show each component of the nose in unprecedented meticulous detail. Anatomical photographs are often paired with anatomical drawings and even intraoperative clinical photographs to illustrate each part of the nose. Rhinoplasty: An Anatomical and Clinical Atlas, provides an in-depth understanding of nasal anatomy and a wide variety of operative techniques. In rhinoplasty surgery, the surgeon must understand the tight linkage between surface aesthetics, underlying anatomy, and selection of operative techniques. The underlying anatomy is only revealed to a limited degree at the time of surgery and the surgeon must then adapt the operative plan to fit the actual anatomy observed in the operating room to achieve the patient's desired aesthetic result. Ultimately, the goal of this atlas is to allow the surgeon to see the operative techniques in both cadavers and clinical cases which represents the best possible learning approach.

This compilation focuses on Ototoxicity, the adverse pharmacological reaction affecting the inner ear or auditory nerve, characterised by cochlear or vestibular dysfunction. Although ototoxic medications play an essential role in modern medicine, they can cause harm and lead to significant morbidity. The authors discuss aminoglycoside antibiotics, loop diuretics, platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents, macrolide antibiotics and antimalarial medications which are among the 600 frequently used ototoxic drugs. Next, an overview of cisplatin-associated ototoxicity, namely its clinical features, incidence rates, molecular and cellular mechanisms and risk factors is provided for health care practitioners managing patients with cancer. Ototoxicity and neurotoxicity are defined from the perspective of chemical agents, nicotine and cotinine, that individuals experience through cigarette smoking and environmental tobacco smoke exposure. Mechanisms for toxicity are described by review of animal and human studies revealing changes in peripheral and central auditory structures after exposure to nicotine. The mechanisms of ototoxicity induced by aminoglycoside are also discussed, as well as the usage of these drugs for treatment of several disorders such as Meniere disease, and possible protective agents. In closing, the authors highlight the serious issue of aminoglycoside mediated hearing loss in cystic fibrosis patients, and also discuss alternative approaches for avoiding aminoglycoside-induced cochleotoxicity.
