Snapshots in Ear, Nose and Throat

5Preface
This book is a simplified version of ENT. The aim of this book is to present all the important topics of Otorhinolaryngology, which are encountered in clinical practice, in the form of brief snapshots. It will act as a ready source of references for busy undergraduate students, interns and practitioners who do not have enough time to go through a big textbook. Although it is a small handbook, it would prove to be useful in the day-to-day clinical practice of ear, nose and throat. Though utmost care has been taken while writing this book, yet I sincerely apologize for inadvertent errors, if any. Kindly email me your comments at: santoshvoltaire@yahoo.co.in.
I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to the entire staff of M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd., New Delhi, India, for taking all pain to bring the book out.
