About this book

This book, built on the latest internationally recognized classification system to which the volume editor contributed, offers a unique and comprehensive reference guide to the clinical presentation, characteristics and proper treatment of the wide spectrum of congenital malformations of the inner ear (IEM). 

IEMs are common, accounting for roughly 20% of congenital hearing loss cases, and can be difficult to manage: 8 groups are identified, which are completely different from each other. With a wealth of color figures and extra videos, the book provides an in-depth description of all the relevant aspects: from histopathology assessment, to preoperative evaluation, genetics, different surgical and non-surgical options, and outcomes. The results from two international Consensus Pediatric Auditory Brainstem Implantation Meetings are also included.

Written by leading experts in the field, this volume will be an invaluable and multidisciplinary tool for otolaryngologists, audiologists and radiologists, while also benefiting scientists dealing with genetics, and neurosurgeons dealing with brainstem implants.

About the editor

Dr Levent Sennaroglu did his medical training and otolaryngology residency in Hacettepe University Medical Faculty in Ankara. In 1996 he became Associate Professor, and was appointed chairman of the Otolaryngology department for the period 2006-2011. Under his management, the Audiology Undergraduate Program was set up for the first time. For the last 25 years, Prof. Sennaroglu activity has been devoted to otology and neurotology, and his main academic interest is focused on inner ear malformations: in 2002 he coauthored a new classification of IEM, published in the same year and then updated in 2010 and 2013, that was adopted in many countries and is still used as a reference in the field. In Hacettepe Implant Group he performed more than 2900 cochlear implantations, and 160 brainstem implantations. He developed a new electrode designed to overcome the problem of cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Author of several papers in the field, Prof. Sennaroglu was the president of the Otology and Neurotology Society in Turkey between 2008 and 2010, and he is a fellow member of the American Neurotology Society, and of other European ENT societies.
