Paediatric otolaryngology is a growing discipline with a large and increasingly complex body of knowledge to guide specialist practitioners. Te subspecialty is already well covered by some excel­lent textbooks and reference works. Te general ORL doctor, with a mixed adult and child practice, is less well served and ofen bemoans the lack of a short, easy-to-read account of the main disorders in chil­dren. I hope this little book flls that gap.

I have focused in the main on common conditions unique to children or where the presentation and management are diferent in children than in their adult counterparts. Tis has meant leaving much material out, for example in otology – including implantation otology, now a very large part of pae­diatric practice – where there is already very good material available in the standard adult texts.

I hope candidates for the main postgraduate examinations (e.g. the UEMS Boards, and the UK Intercollegiate fellowship) will have enough revision material to satisfy the curriculum, that the estab­lished generalist in ORL will fnd enough in the way of advice regarding investigation and management of the common conditions to support them in their day-to-day work looking afer children, and that the newcomer to ORL will be motivated to learn more about paediatric aspects of our specialty.

I have deliberately kept the chapters short, with summaries of the main points, and a very small number of references as readers now have near-universal recourse to multiple up-to-date online sources of knowledge. Troughout, I have tried to give sound advice that will be of use in the clini­cal situation, much of it based on long personal experience.

Working with children, families, colleagues and trainees in paediatric ORL has been a lifelong plea­sure and I hope this short text will stimulate others to share that joy.
