Overview

With the advent of flexible and rigid fibre-optic technology and modern imaging techniques, the nasopharynx has finally been demystified. Its examination has become easier and more accurate - in fact the procedure is now so effortless that it can be performed in the office, even on children. Featuring over 130 colour photographs, CT scans and MRI scans, this atlas provides you with an instructive text on nasopharyngeal endoscopy. While books on nasal endoscopy and endoscopic sinus surgery are numerous, this text offers specialized coverage of nasopharyngeal endoscopy. It clearly demonstrates the wide range of appearances of the normal nasopharynx, adenoids, uncommon pathologies as well as abnormalities and diseases that can occur such as adenoiditis, cystic lesions and tumours. As well as an overview of the anatomy, embryology, histology and physiology of the nasopharynx, it shows a range of normal variations, abnormalities and pathologies that involve the nasopharynx. The book explores the possible connection between the nasopharynx and adult snoring, throat irritation and postnasal drip, and covers inflammatory and infectious diseases, adenoid hypertrophy, nasopharyngeal cysts, and benign and malignant neoplasms. Drawing on the author's 15 years in rhinology practice, this book gives you an easy-to-use resource that describes this essential procedure and points towards future developments in this field.
