Neurotology
Sergio Carmona & Giacinto Asprella Libonati

“Neurotology” is already a classic in literature on this subject in Spanish. In this first edition and following Professor Edgardo Marelli’s retirement, M.D. Giacinto Asprella Libonati’s incorporation brings not only the vision of an othorhynolaringologist, but it also gives international character to the piece. Two of the most frequent pathologies of this subspecialty have experienced an explosive growth: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, subject on which M.D. Asprella Libonati has led publications during this decade and Vestibular Migraine Headache where we have contributed both in the clinical aspects as well as in therapeutics. The updating on these two subjects is reflected in this volume providing extremely useful information to approach and treat the patient. The DVD that accompanies this book has quadrupled the information included in the previous CD with a large number of videos illustrating real clinical situations.

All the subjects that required updating have been modified, with expert collaboration. Despite these changes, “Neurotology” preserves the original idea of offering “everything” in a synthetic, synoptic and practical way for clinical use.
