Dizziness comes in many forms in each age group – some specific to an age group (e.g. benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood) while others span the age spectrum (e.g., migraine-associated vertigo). This content organizes evaluation and management of the dizzy patient by age to bring a fresh perspective to seeing these often difficult patients. The pediatric section begins with a review of vestibular embryology and physiology and moves toward a comprehensive discussion of methods – both bedside and in the vestibular lab - to evaluate the child with dizziness, or “clumsiness,” concluding with an exploration of the differential diagnosis of dizziness and relevant findings. Dizziness in the adolescent points to migraine headache as a common cause, enumerates treatment strategies for migraine-associated vertigo, and offers guidelines for when to image the adolescent with dizziness.Adult dizziness is more a compilation of the relevant diagnoses, but the section starts with dizziness that can affect young adults – especially members of our Armed Forces fighting overseas – traumatic brain injury/blast injury. This content also has relevance for patients inmotor vehicle accidents and head injury patients. Medicolegal aspects of evaluation and management of dizzy patients are succinctlycovered in “Evaluation of Dizziness in the Litigating Patient.” The final chapter in this section, “Other Causes of Dizziness,” provides a very thorough overview of unusual causes of dizziness in the adult population.Dizziness associated with advancing age is quite common and often multifactorial, as is highlighted in the chapter “Dizziness in theElderly.” A comprehensive review of the posterior cerebral circulation, transient ischemic attacks, and posterior circulation stroke is presented in the chapter, “Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency.” No coverage of dizziness in the elderly is complete without an exposition of polypharmacy and medication effects. Other common diagnoses of dizziness in the elderly are thoughtfully reviewed along with a survey of new and old techniques to rehabilitate the older patient with dizziness or disequilibrium.Patients presenting with dizziness can harbor serious, if not life-threatening, conditions such as stroke, brain abscess, or severe chronic ear disease. At the end of several articles, the reader will find a relevant table – What Not To Miss – a list of clinically significant signs and symptoms not to ignore, or conditions (differential diagnosis) that may masquerade as that discussed in the chapter but criticallyimportant that the practitioner should not overlook in the evaluation of the patient. Many articles in this edition start with a clinical scenario so the reader can recognize common presenting symptoms, demographic features, and factors in the medical history that will aid in making the diagnosis.

Les progrès considérables de ces dix dernières années en matière de rhinoplastie ont été favorisés par la voie d'abord externe qui a permis, grâce à un contrôle visuel direct, de développer des techniques de greffes dans un but à la fois esthétique et fonctionnel et des techniques de sutures permettant de modifier la forme des cartilages ou de stabiliser des greffons. Cette 3e édition offre une description détaillée de ces avancées récentes et témoigne de l'évolutivité constante de cette spécialité et de la nécessité de se tenir informé pour rester performant. Après un rappel des bases anatomiques, l'ouvrage se décline selon le type de rhinoplastie pratiquée : indications, avantages et limites des techniques opératoires sont systématiquement développés. Les chapitres ont été largement actualisés, en particulier ceux consacrés à la chirurgie de la pointe et aux rhinoplasties secondaires, et présentent un grand nombre de nouveaux cas cliniques. Comptes rendus opératoires précis, schémas en trois dimensions, clichés avec illustrations associées ; autant d'éléments pédagogiques qui ont fait le succès des deux éditions précédentes et que l'on retrouve ici. De plus, des encadrés dégagent les points essentiels à retenir pour chaque acte chirurgical. Un DVD accompagne le livre illustrant les différents temps opératoires d'une rhinoplastie habituelle ainsi que certaines techniques particulières. Ce livre constittue une référence indispensable pour les chirurgiens plasticiens, ORL et maxillo-faciaux, débutants et confirmés qui pourront se référer à une technique opératoire ou à un type de cas clinique.

Salivary endoscopy and lithotripsy are completely new, and rapidly emerging medical fields for the United States and North America. Salivary endoscopy is now mainly known in Europe, having been utilized there since the early 1990s. Sialendoscopy can be either a diagnostic or interventional procedure. As a treatment, sialendoscopy is used for blocked salivary glands and is branching out for diagnosis in terms of ductal pathology and treatment of other conditions as well. Diagnostic sialendoscopy can replace most of the radiological examinations of the salivary ductal system. Lithotripsy is used therapeutically for salivary stones. Topics include: Causes, Incidence, and Natural History of Salivary Gland Duct Stones and Obstructions; Radiologic Diagnosis of Salivary Gland and Duct Obstructions; Technology of Sialendoscopy; Basic Sialendoscopy Technique for Salivary Stones; Treatment of Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis and Sjogren's Disease among others.

En la obra se presentan de forma sucinta las bases conceptuales, clínicas, diagnósticas y terapéuticas de esta especialidad, que en los últimos tiempos ha adquirido un perfil de especialidad quirúrgica. Mediante una exposición clara y didáctica, la obra abarca con detenimiento todos los aspectos de las enfermedades otorrinolaringológicas, haciendo especial hincapié en aquellos puntos que tienen mayor interés para el especialista, como las bases histopatológicas de las enfermedades o los métodos de diagnóstico y tratamiento. La obra, muy estructurada y esquemática, se apoya en un gran número de fotografías de casos clínicos, dibujos, esquemas y tablas que condensan lo expuesto en el texto y, en ocasiones, lo amplían. Cada capítulo muestra su correspondiente resumen en el que se recogen los aspectos más destacados. Asimismo, el autor trata de forma específica las enfermedades más relevantes y los aspectos referentes a la terapéutica quirúrgica en capítulos separados estudiando las indicaciones y la descripción de la técnica quirúrgica que el lector deberá confrontar con la ejecución práctica de las intervenciones en su medio hospitalario. La obra, dirigida a profesionales de la especialidad y MIR, recoge las bases de la anatomía aplicada (basándose en la embriología) y de la fisiología, así como las ideas básicas de la anatomía patológica, sobre la que se apoya el concepto, la clínica y la terapéutica de las enfermedades propias de la especialidad. Actualmente, éstas se organizan en patología del oído, rinología, faringología, patología de las glándulas salivales y enfermedades quirúrgicas del cuello.
