The text provides a well illustrated, evidence based, structured, yet simple and comprehensive approach for the clinician who wants to master the rudiments of managing this fascinating, but complicated group of patientsEL The authors have a wealth of knowledge and experience across the range of disciplines relevant to this area of medicine and their excellent presentation and teaching approach will undoubtedly result in this third edition of the "Pittsburgh vestibular cases" maintaining its position as an essential reference in the field." --Linda M. Luxon, MBBS, BSc, FRCP, Professor of Audiovestibular Medicine, University College London Ear Institute, London, UK "The authors have put together a superb learning tool suitable for all clinicians that see patients with dizziness and balance disorders. The book begins with an overview of anatomy, the history, evaluation of audiological and vestibular function, vestibular rehabilitation and of the pharmacologic options for the dizzy patient. The book then uses more than 60 well-illustrated cases to emphasize a series of clear teaching points. The authors have developed an engaging and highly practical text that allows the reader to learn about vestibular and balance disorders based on real-life cases. This third edition of this popular book is another success that should be in the library of all those with an interest in vestibular disorders." --Terry D. Fife, MD, FAAN, FANS, Balance Center, Barrow Neurological Institute, Associate Professor of Clinical Neurology, University of Arizona College of Medicine, Phoenix, AZ "This third edition adds eight new cases to a thoughtfully written book illustrating interesting, common, and uncommon cases that should be a great reference for all ENT physicians." --Doody's "Overall, this is an informative, accessible, and well-organized handbook that neurology, otolaryngology, and medical residents and practitioners will find very useful; it deserves to be on their bookshelves." --Archives of Neurology
