Vestibular Disorders, Second Edition, uses a case-study approach to outline the principles and practice of the care of patients with dizziness and balance disorders. The text reflects the combined perspectives and experience of a neurologist(Dr. Furman) and a neurotologic surgeon (Dr. Cass). Each case study contains relevant material regarding history, physical examination, laboratory testing, differential diagnosis, and treatment. This material provides a springboard for discussion of either a concept in the field of vestibular disorders or the diagnosis or treatment of a particular disease state. Practical, specific treatment options are discussed throughout the book. For this, the second edition, each of the cases from the first edition has been updated, the background material has been reorganized, and 14 new cases have been added, five of which concern patients with multiple diagnoses. A new part of the book, entitled "Controversial Case Studies," includes ten cases that address a disorder or clinical issue surrounded by a particularly broad range of opinion or uncertainty. Vestibular Disorders, Second Edition aims to span the gap between existing in-depth texts and the problems that arise whenever a patient presents with dizziness.

Review
"This book provides a systematic approach to the dizzy patient, clinical detailed histories in a question and answer format that is easy to read, and treatment options. It is useful to both specialists and non-specialists from the level of medical student to balance disorder specialists. I highly recommend the book."-- ournal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry

excellent book for beginners,
By Chang Ta Ching (Taiwan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vestibular Disorders: A Case Study Approach (Hardcover)
I read the first edition twice and still decided to buy the second edition . Case study approach is the best way to learn .You will never get tired of exploring the cases. You will have gross view of the vertiginous patients and learn differential diagnosis. Must read for beginners.

broad coverage, too many typos,

This review is from: Vestibular Disorders: A Case Study Approach (Hardcover)
The book seems to emphasize more neurology than ENT. There is probably a little too much emphasis on oddball causes of balance difficulty.I also found a number of editing errors, with occasional confusion of which semicircular canal is involved, and whether there is increased or decreased activity. I don't think this detracts too much from the book, which is still a good review. From a personal perspective, I would have appreciated more in-depth coverage of test utility. Test results are always mentioned in the cases, but there is little coverage of "pearls and pitfalls" in test interpretation. From experience in using VNG, I find that the results are frequently not straightforward.

This is a most useful text especially if you're new to the diagnosis and management of vestibular disorders. It's easy to read and understand and very applicable. I highly recommend it.
