Otolaryngology Cases provides a stellar learning tool on a full spectrum of ENT pathologies In
the tradition of the acclaimed first edition experts from the University of Cincinnati's
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery present new case reviews. Every chapter
presents patient-based scenarios to prepare practitioners for ENT cases they will encounter
during rounds rotations and patient exams. By establishing a uniform algorithm in obtaining
and utilizing discreet points of data the authors encourage a disciplined approach to patient
assessment and management options. Sections organized by anatomy and subspecialty enhance the
ability to learn and retain knowledge. For example benign and malignant pathologies are
systematically detailed in anatomical sections dedicated to the neurovascular structures oral
cavity and pharynx larynx thyroid salivary gland and skin. The text covers the full age
continuum - including congenital acquired benign and malignant disorders such as pediatric
subglottic stenosis and facial head and neck cancers that primarily affect adults. Key

Chapter bibliographies with current literature sources augment case reviews. - Multiple-choice
questions serve as a robust study tool optimizing knowledge acquisition and retention. This
must-have resource enables otolaryngology residents and practitioners to learn from case
studies and incorporate state-of-the-art techniques into daily practice thereby optimizing
