    • RAPD (Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect) indicates optic nerve damage
    • Contraindicated treatment: corticosteroids

    Papilledema

    • Etiology: increased intracranial pressure

    MRI Findings

    • Optic neuritis: high-signal lesions on FLAIR sequences

    Ear, Nose, and Throat

    • Vertigo: lightheadedness or spinning sensation
    • Severe imbalance and nausea: central vertigo
    • Nystagmus: typically seen in central vertigo
    • Eye movement: controlled by cranial nerves III, IV, and VI
    • Pupil constriction: controlled by cranial nerve III
    • Orbicularis oculi muscle: responsible for eyelid closure
    • Ciliary body muscle: responsible for lens accommodation
    • Tarsal plates: rigid, cartilaginous structures in the eyelid
    • Canaliculi: responsible for draining excess tears
    • Meibomian glands: produce meibum, an oily substance in tears

    Allergic Rhinitis

    • Characteristic feature: allergic response to environmental allergens
    • Diagnostic test: allergy testing
    • Treatment: generate IgG blocking antibodies to inhibit IgE-dependent activation

    Non-Allergic Rhinitis

    • Most common cause: vasomotor rhinitis
    • Diagnosis: based on symptoms and lack of allergic response

    Rhinosinusitis

    • Distinguishing feature: acute, subacute, and chronic forms

    Eye Conditions

    • Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO): 'cherry red spot' on fundoscopy
    • Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: most appropriate initial treatment is lumbar puncture
    • Retinal Vein Occlusion: mainstay of treatment is anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy

    • Diabetic Retinopathy: characterized by microaneurysms, hard exudates, and cotton wool spots

    Ear Conditions

    • Meniere's Disease: characterized by fluctuating, progressive sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus
    • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): characteristic feature is episodic vertigo
    • Vestibular Neuronitis: clinical presentation is characterized by sudden, severe vertigo

    Other Conditions

    • Ludwig's Angina: clinical presentation includes a 'hot potato' voice and difficulty swallowing
    • Retropharyngeal Abscess: common feature is a bulge in the posterior pharyngeal wall
    • Peritonsillar Abscess: most likely to occur in young adults
    • Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease: treatment is supportive care
    • Pseudomembranous Candidiasis: clinical presentation includes white, patchy lesions on the tongue
    • Nasal Foreign Bodies: diagnosis is based on symptoms and imaging studies
