Vertigo is the feeling that everything around is moving or spinning
and is usually caused by a problem with the balance mechanisms in
the inner ear. It can also be caused by problems in certain parts
of the brain or vision disorders. Benign paroxysmal positional
vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo causing
brief episodes of mild to intense dizziness. BPPV is usually
triggered by specific changes in the position of the head, when
tipping the head up or down, when lying down, or when turning over
or sitting up in bed. This book is a comprehensive guide to BPPV.
Beginning with an introduction to anatomy, physiology and
differential diagnosis, the following sections discuss the
different types of BPPV - posterior, horizontal, anterior,
subclinical, multicanal, secondary, migraine-associated and more.
The final chapters examine medical and surgical management
techniques and the book concludes with an atlas of diagnostic and
therapeutic procedures for BPPV. The book is authored by recognised
experts from Italy. Key Points Comprehensive guide to diagnosis and
management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) Covers

Hearing loss is one the commonest disabling diseases affecting
populations of all ages worldwide. The impairment of hearing may be
the cause of impaired language development in children, the cause
of scholarly issues in adolescents, the cause of worsening of
quality of life in the adults, and the cause of isolation of aged
people. In this book, the authors present the hearing loss in all
its facets, starting from the basis of pathophysiology and anatomy,
passing through the clinical and instrumental diagnosis and,
finally, describing the most important diseases causing hearing
loss with reasonable treatment options. A section was dedicated to
the imaging of the ear with about 100 original figures. The readers
will find a complete classification of genetic hearing loss and all
information related to congenital deafness as well. A wide section
was reserved to the description and discussion of the most
important pathology leading to hearing loss (Meniere's disease,
otosclerosis, trauma and occupational hearing impairment, etc.).
The treatment of hearing loss is continuously evolving with the
progress of technology, and the authors gave a wide space to
describe all treatment options available for the patients,
providing all information useful to manage hearing disease
correctly.
