Description
In the light of the latest clinical research, this second edition has been completely rewritten to provide a timely monograph on the differential diagnosis and management of vertigo. The book is divided into sections covering the major subdivisions of vertigo, including peripheral labyrinthine disorders; central vestibular disorders; benign paroxysmal positional, vascular, traumatic and familial vertigo; vertigo in childhood and in the elderly, and related to drugs. Each includes a full description of the clinical features and diagnosis, and the author stresses the relationship between management and the underlying pathological mechanism. Written by a leading authority in the field this will be of interest to all who treat vertigo patients, as well as researchers working in related areas.
