Theissing J, Rettinger G, Werner JA. ENT—Head and Neck Surgery:  Essential Procedures.  Thieme 2011, 448 pages, 943 illustrations, $169.99.

For those radiologists who specialize or have a keen interest in head and neck imaging, this book, ENT—Head and Neck Surgery: Essential Procedures, may be of interest.

Basically, it describes and illustrates with crisp diagrams all of the major surgical procedures an otolaryngologist would deal with. This has significant implications for neuroradiologists, since we should know how abnormalities are approached, what the different surgical options are, what variations in anatomy affect the approach, and what complications may occur.

While only hardcore head and neck radiologist will purchase this book, it certainly is one which neuroradiologists may wish to have access to, either via their own Departmental library or via the Surgery Library in their institution.
