Description
This text, for the advanced student and, in particular, the postgraduate in otorhinolaryngology and/or pathology, outlines the pathological features of diseases of the ear and aims to stimulate interest and research in the pathology of hearing loss. The book is divided into five parts: Part 1 presents the structure and morphology of the normal ear followed by the histopathological features, described in detail, of the common and of the relatively uncommon inflammatory and granulomatous diseases. A major part of the book is devoted to the description, classification and histopathological particulars of the neoplasms of the ear (Part 2) and to the pathology of hearing loss caused by otosclerosis and other bone diseases (Part 3). The pathology of hearing loss and of various syndromes of congenital deafness is discussed in Part 4, while Part 5 deals with most of the methods employed in the study of the ear by the authors.
