Traditionally the field of Otology has suffered due to poor visualisation and understanding of the common ear conditions by the undergraduate student. As a result the diagnosis & referrals of the ear diseases by the family physicians, leaves much to be desired.
With the advent of Otoendoscopy lot of teaching hospitals are using this as a tool to educate the undergraduate students. In this respect the "Endoscopic Color Atlas of Ear Diseases" is a milestone in educating not only the undergraduate student and the family physician but also post graduate students & budding otologists.
The high quality photographs not only illustrate common ear diseases like acute & chronic suppurative otitis media, serous otitis media but also uncommon & dangerous condittions like glomus tumor.
This atlas by Dr Mubarak Khan & Dr. Sapna Parab has raised the bar in the diagnosis of ear diseases & will benefit not only students and practitioners but the society as a whole.
