Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases brings together the classical knowledge of otorhinolaryngology with the most modern concepts of diseases of the ear, nose and throat and their diagnosis and treatment. The anatomy and physiology of organs and systems are examined sequentially. The most common and most important pathological entities are presented in an easy-to-understand manner.
The language of the aid is extremely light and easy to read, making it a comprehensible read suitable for students. The study guide can also be successfully used by general practitioners, as it provides the basic guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of the most common inflammatory diseases of the ears, nose and throat. Along with this, the cases in which it is mandatory to seek help from a specialist are indicated, such as oncological diseases and emergency conditions in otorhinolaryngology.
