Features: The ear, nose, and throat (ENT) regions are located at the head of the human body, with delicate anatomical structures and complex adjacent relationships. They are often interconnected with important intracranial structures, and the manifestations of diseases are diverse. When early clinical symptoms of certain diseases are atypical and auxiliary examinations require further analysis, it can be difficult to make an early diagnosis. Limited thinking, subjective speculation, and inadequate clinical experience are all factors contributing to misdiagnosis and mistreatment. This book consists of 6 chapters, 34 sections, and over 120 typical cases, discussing various subspecialties of otolaryngology separately, with cross-disciplinary content classified under specific disciplines. For each disease, the relevant theories are introduced first, followed by misdiagnosed cases. The book focuses on analyzing the causes of misdiagnosis and mistreatment, sharing experience lessons, and providing preventive measures. Through case analysis and summarization, it serves as a reference for middle-aged and young clinical physicians.
