Review from previous edition This is a must-read for those who participate in the care of patients with dizziness, vertigo, and disequilibrium. The book provides a comprehensive, but not necessarily scholarly or exhaustive, review of the various syndromes that might cause dizziness. It also covers a relatively new concept -- that of psychogenic dizzy syndrome, which is highly informative. This is a very useful book that would be helpful for anyone who sees patients complaining of dizziness.

Doody's Notes, May 2013

Vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance rank amongst the most common presenting symptoms in neurology, otorhinolaryngology, geriatric medicine, and general practice. These symptoms can originate from many different organs and systems, e.g. the inner ear, general medical conditions, and neurological and psychological disorders. The Oxford Textbook of Vertigo and Imbalance, Second Edition provides an up-to-date summary of the scientific basis, clinical diagnosis, and management of disorders that lead to dizziness and poor balance. The Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and all chapters have been fully reviewed and updated since the last edition 10 years ago. This edition features 29 fully updated chapters and four new chapters on vestibular surgery, traumatic brain injury, dizziness in children, and dizziness in the elderly. The textbook is conceptually divided into three sections, detailing the scientific basis, general clinical issues, and specific diseases diagnosed in clinical practice that are responsible for complaints of dizziness and imbalance. Individual chapters address benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, vestibular migraine, vestibular neuritis, stroke, and Ménière's disease. Additional chapters follow a syndrome-based approach and cover multiple conditions, including cerebellar disorders, bilateral vestibular failure, and psychological disorders.
