TITLE:
vertigo and Dizziness


Description
Synopsis

Vertigo is not a disease entity, but rather an unspecific syndrome consisting of various disorders with different causes. Most syndromes of vertigo can only be correctly diagnosed by means of a careful medical history and physical examination of the patient. The majority of these cases have a benign cause, a favorable natural course, and a positive response to therapy. This book deals with vestibular function, its disorders, the pathophysiological mechanisms involved, diagnostic signs, examination procedures, apparative diagnostics, and principles of therapy. The most important clinical syndromes of vertigo are looked at: patient medical history, clinical aspects and natural course, pathophysiology and principles of therapy, pragmatic therapy, ineffective treatments, differential diagnosis and clinical problems. Special emphasis is put on various drug, physical, operative, or psychotherapeutic treatments available. The accompanying DVD presents typical case histories in 65 short video sequences and helps orientate the book to daily medical practice with readily accessible information. The whole field of vertigo, imbalance, and eye movement disorders has been considered extremely difficult because of the variety of its manifestations and its resistance to compartmentalization. This book will increase the understanding of this syndrome. This short and concise, clinically-oriented book is for physicians of different specializations who treat patients with vertigo including. neurologists, neurootologic specialists, neuroophthalmology, otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, ophthalmology, ENT specialists and general medicine. Easy-to-use, it has an overview of the most importantsyndromes of vertigo, each with explanatory clinical descriptions and illustrations.
