Features: The ear, nose, and throat (ENT) region is located in the head of the human body, with delicate anatomical structures and complex adjacent relationships. It is often connected to important intracranial structures, and the manifestations of diseases are diverse. When the early clinical symptoms of certain diseases are atypical and auxiliary examinations are still under analysis, it is difficult to make an early diagnosis. Narrow-minded thinking, subjective speculation, and insufficient clinical experience are all factors contributing to misdiagnosis and mistreatment. This book consists of 6 chapters, 34 sections, and over 120 typical cases, discussing each subspecialty of otolaryngology separately. The interdisciplinary parts among the three-level disciplines are classified under a specific discipline. For each disease, the relevant theory is introduced first, followed by a list of misdiagnosed cases. The focus is on analyzing the causes of misdiagnosis and mistreatment, as well as summarizing the lessons learned and preventive measures. Through this analysis and summary, it serves as a reference for middle-aged and young clinical physicians.
