Vertigo and dizziness rank among the most common symptoms in primary care, otolaryngology, and neurology. Causes
vary from harmless but bothersome conditions such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo to life-threatening emergencies such as posterior fossa strokes. Our understanding of diagnosis, pathophysiologic mechanisms, and effective
treatments has increased considerably in the last two decades. New developments include algorithms for bedside detection of vestibular strokes, the delineation of vestibular migraine as one of the most frequent causes of recurrent vertigo,
description of variants of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, devices for testing individual semicircular canals and
otolith organs, and the advancement of vestibular rehabilitation as the most important therapeutic tool in neuro-otology.
This volume of the Handbook of Clinical Neurology assembles contributions from leading international authors to
communicate the current clinical knowledge of neuro-otology and a comprehensive list of references. Chapters 1–14
deal with basic knowledge and general principles of neuro-otology, such as anatomy, physiology, epidemiology,
history taking, examination, and vestibular rehabilitation. This is followed by the disease-specific Chapters 15–28,
covering all common causes of vertigo and dizziness. The numerous tables and figures in this book make the field
of vestibular science and medicine even more accessible.
