Diagnosis in Otorhinolaryngology

When making a diagnosis it is of paramount importance that the ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist views the lesion and recognizes its pathology. Recent advances in endoscopic technology have enabled us to obtain clear pictures of such lesions and have changed our approach to diseases and techniques in the fields of ENT and head and neck surgery.

This atlas provides a pictorial survey with a brief reader-friendly structured text. It supports the beginner in their search for the correct diagnosis and increases the understanding required for basic surgical approaches. It is also a useful guide for all experts who teach their skills. A DVD with unique pictures and schematic drawings is included for teaching purposes.
