Written for general otolaryngologists and primary care practitioners, this volume is a practical, concise, and systematic guide to the evaluation and management of patients with dizzy spells or balance problems. The book follows a symptom-based approach that is the key to an efficient and successful diagnostic workup. Chapters walk the reader through the reasoning processes involved in taking the history, performing the physical examination, selecting laboratory tests, determining the cause of the symptoms, and choosing appropriate therapy. The text is written in an easy-to-read style and key points are highlighted in the margin for quick recognition. Each chapter includes review questions for self-analysis of content.
