I'm a resident in Neurotology at a prestigious institute in Mexico City. When I first saw the two huge volumes of this book, I thought it was going to be dull and full of unaccesible information for a beginner such as myself. I was gladly surprised with the refreshing style and easy-to-follow introductory chapters of Anatomy, physiology and Pathology (including molecular genetics applied to the specialty). Every detail is fully explained, including physics when necessary. This is an all-in one, it goes from basics, including all the main tests used in neurotologic diagnosis, pediatric neurotology, imaging diagnosis (with my personal favorites on imaging of the facial nerve and cerebellopontine angle), surgical features,and any disease related that you may expect to find. What I found most appealing is that I've been able to find basically everything I need on a subject, without filling my desk with different books that include ONLY tests and diagnosis, or ONLY Vertigo, like if it was all there is in neurotology. Taking a look at the long list of contributors gives you a hint on why this is a MUST for the specialist in Neurotology.
