Brief Introduction

Ballenger’s Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck, The 18th edition has expanded to 114 chapters, continuing the tradition of excellence and applying Ballenger’s original concept of combining an atlas with text to produce a comprehensive reference for practitioners of the 21st century. Color plates, illustrations, endoscopic photographs, and other color photographs illuminate surgical concepts, the foundations of underlying disease, and procedures. Section editors and senior authors were selected for their valuable contributions and international leadership in their disciplines.

This edition blends state-of-the-art clinical techniques, methods, and outcomes with scientific foundations in an accessible, reader-friendly manner for both developing specialists and seasoned practitioners.

New to this edition: more than 1,000 full-color clinical illustrations and photographs; emphasis on the role of molecular biology in the pathogenesis of disease and therapy; coverage of the genetic, virology, bacterial, and immunologic basis of disease; expanded presentation of the basic science underlying clinical practice; and expansion of the rhinology and pediatric otorhinolaryngology sections.

New chapters on cochlear, auditory brainstem, vestibular prostheses, allergy evaluation, immunotherapy, medical management of chronic sinusitis, upper and lower blepharoplasty, cleft lip, drooling, dysphagia and aspiration, otoplasty, functional rhinoplasty, navigational systems, surgical simulators, and robotic surgery. New pediatric chapters on speech and resonance disorders in children, voice disorders in children, pediatric head and neck neoplasms, aerodigestive tract foreign bodies and caustic ingestions, vascular tumors and malformations of the head and neck, infectious and inflammatory disorders of the larynx and trachea, congenital anomalies of the nose and nasal airway, congenital anomalies of the external, middle and inner ear, congenital anomalies of the mandible and maxilla, and acquired anomalies of the larynx and trachea.

Excerpts

…
The tympanic portion of the TB is an incomplete cylindrical portion of the TB that, together with the squamosal portion, forms the medial part of the external auditory canal. This portion of the external auditory canal is 2 cm in length by 1 cm in diameter. Its anterior boundary is the posterior limit of the mandibular fossa; medially, its border is the tympanic membrane. The posterior part fuses with the mastoid component of the TB at the tympanomastoid suture. Failure in development of this part of the TB is responsible for congenital aural atresia, a form of conductive hearing loss correctable by surgery. The major portion of the TB formed by the mastoid portion attributes its large size to extensive pneumatization. The mastoid process projects posteriorly and inferiorly behind the external auditory meatus and serves as the attachment for the sternocleidomastoid muscle. A deep groove in its inferior aspect houses the posterior belly of the digastric muscle, which is innervated by the facial nerve. The superior surface of the mastoid compartment is formed by a thin plate of bone known as the tegmen mastoidea. Posteriorly, it forms the anterior plate of the posterior cranial fossa and is indented by a groove for the sigmoid sinus. The superior and inferior petrosal sinuses travel medially along the superior and inferior aspects of this part of the TB.
