I understand that this is the second book of this nature published by the authors; the successor of the first book which was an outstanding success. This proves that there is a demand for clear precise pictorial reference books as it enables the readers to appreciate the varied clinical presentations and its subsequent management in day-to-day clinical practice. This questions and answers book will complement the previous book which was an atlas. It is said a picture paints a thousand words and this is indeed true in clinical settings. This book covers the varied clinical images in different segments of otorhinolaryngology (ENT), ranging from otology, rhinology, head and neck and laryngology. It is a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm of the authors. I wish to congratulate the authors Associate Professor Dr Rahmat Omar and Professor Dr Prepageran on the publication of this book.

University of Malaya is committed to become a center of excellence in academic pursuit not only in Malaysia but also in the region and internationally. We encourage knowledge expansion and dissemination, and books written by young upcoming academicians are very much an integral part of the University of Malaya's effort to promote academics and culture of publishing among its academic staffs. I hope this will encourage more authors to put their wisdom and knowledge gathered over the years into books of similar nature to keep the readers updated and refreshed with core as well as current best practice information.

Finally, I would like to compliment the authors again and believe this book will be well accepted among a wide spectrum of readers ranging from medical students, primary care physicians to ENT masters students.

Almost all the images were taken and edited by the first author. The book is divided into four sections; Otology, Rhinology, Head and Neck, and Laryngology. Special techniques like endoscopy and videostroboscopy were used to enable excellent high quality color photographs to be taken especially from the ear, nasal cavity, and larynx.

This book is complementary to the Ear Nose Throat Colour Atlas and Synopsis which was published earlier by University of Malaya Press. It would be an ideal resource for exam preparation and revision; hopefully readers would find it useful and practical. For qualified specialists and ENT surgeons, this book would be an indispensable quick reference.

We would like to thank the patients appearing in this book, as without their willingness and cooperation this work would not have been completed. Special thanks to the medical officers in training and colleagues from the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University of Malaya, who had directly or indirectly contributed in any way in the production of this book.
