Reviews

A detailed, comprehensive text on basic science topics relevant to paranasal sinus disease; on imaging methods; on clinical disease (varieties of acute and chronic sinusitis, infections, and smell disorders) and its diagnosis, interpretation, and treatment; and on surgical management. There is more here than most internists are likely to need, but some sections, such as that on the interpretation of headache that may arise from the nose or sinuses, may give insights into unusual problems.-Annals of Internal Medicine
