Vertigo, dizziness, and balance issues are among the most frequently encountered symptoms in various medical fields, including neurology, otorhinolaryngology, geriatric medicine, and general practice. These symptoms can stem from a variety of sources, such as the inner ear, medical conditions, or neurological and psychological disorders.
The Oxford Textbook of Vertigo and Imbalance, Second Edition offers a comprehensive and current overview of the scientific principles, clinical diagnosis, and treatment options for conditions that cause dizziness and imbalance. This new edition has been meticulously revised, with every chapter fully updated since its last release a decade ago. It includes 29 refreshed chapters and introduces four additional chapters that focus on vestibular surgery, traumatic brain injury, dizziness in children, and dizziness in the elderly.
Structurally, the textbook is divided into three main sections. These sections cover the scientific foundations, general clinical considerations, and specific diseases that are commonly diagnosed in clinical settings and can lead to feelings of dizziness and imbalance. In-depth discussions focus on various conditions, including benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis, stroke, and Ménière’s disease. Several chapters adopt a syndrome-based perspective, addressing multiple conditions such as cerebellar disorders, bilateral vestibular failure, and psychological disorders.
