Oxford Case Histories in Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery

Part of the Oxford Case Histories series, this book engages the reader in higher-level thinking through real-life case-based problems in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery. Containing 50 varied cases, the book covers the main subspecialities of ENT as outlined by the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme (ISCP) for otolaryngology, including paediatric ENT, rhinology, anterior skull base surgery, otology/neurotology, head and neck surgery, facial plastics, and laryngology. In addition, several cases cover commonly encountered dilemmas by ENT surgeons in audiological medicine, and others examine more sub-specialist knowledge such as jugular paraganglionoma and hearing implantology.

Each case starts with a short vignette, followed by questions on the differential diagnosis and aspects of management. Answers are accompanied by detailed discussion and suggestions for further reading, enabling clinicians to gain the necessary skills for confident and competent diagnosis and management of medical problems. Cases are further supplemented with 15 videos of endoscopic and surgical procedures to demonstrate the answers in practice.

This book will be ideal for trainees in otolaryngology and related specialities, allied healthcare professionals in ENT, and medical students.
