Product Description
Schuknechts Pathology of the Ear emphasizes clinical history and laboratory findings including audiological and vestibular testing for the purposes of clinico-pathologic correlation. The third edition of Harold F. Schuknecht s Pathology of the Ear has been reorganized and consists of four sections, including : (I.) Anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the ear; (II.) Disease processes of the ear; (IV.) Histopathology following surgical treatment. An entirely new section (III) has been developed, entitled Patterns of degeneration of the ear with multiple etiologies which hopefully will serve as a helpful guide to the reader to recognize that multiple etiologies may result in a similar histopathologic phenotype. Where possible, new full color digital images of histopathology have been created and images have been labeled with a scheme that employs green for normal structures and red to depict abnormalities.
