While atlases of endoscopic sinus surgery are numerous, there is a serious knowledge gap created by the lack of a comprehensive, up-to-date atlas dedicated to office diagnostic nasal endoscopy. The first and only such atlas, written in German and translated in 1978, is sadly out of date. Filling this gap, An Atlas of Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy illustrates all variants of normal intranasal anatomy and pathologies seen through nasal endoscopy.While atlases of endoscopic sinus surgery are numerous, there is a serious knowledge gap created by the lack of a comprehensive, up-to-date atlas dedicated to office diagnostic nasal endoscopy.
