Study Notes

ORL 2023 Questions - Study Notes

  • Weber's Test Lateralization: Weber's test lateralizes to the side of the reduced hearing, indicating conductive hearing loss. Weber's test is used to determine the location of rhinoliquor.
  • Rhinoliquor Location: Determined through rhinoendoscopic examination, rhinoendoscopic examination + florescein, HRCT, CT cisternography, and MRI cisternography. Evidence of B-2 transferrin.
  • Nystagmus Types: Spontaneous nystagmus, nystagmus after air irritation (24°C), nystagmus after water irritation (37°C), and nystagmus after water irritation (44°C).
  • Chronic Otitis Characteristics: Characterized by opacity of the cell, the presence of fluid behind the intact eardrum, and eardrum perforation, for sensorineural hearing loss.
  • Otosclerosis Hearing Loss: Caused by dense sclerotic bone in the basal turn of the cochlea.
  • Acoustic Reflex Testing: Investigates the defense mechanism against noise-induced hearing loss, the function of the sacculus, function of the cochlear nerve, and the function of the facial nerve.
  • Sialadenitis: Painful, diffuse swelling of the affected salivary gland. Mumps virus is the most common viral pathogen.
  • Hypopharyngeal Carcinoma: Diagnosed in early stages, often using induction chemotherapy with radiotherapy and surgical treatment with radiotherapy. Smoking and alcohol consumption are etiological factors. Symptoms include sensation of foreign body in the pharynx and dysphagia.
  • Bullous Myringitis: Paracentesis is performed to alleviate pain. Caused by herpes zoster virus. Treatment is typically symptomatic with analgesics and scarification of bullae (blisters).
  • Malignant Otitis Externa: Usually caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes, or E. coli.
  • Laryngomalacia: A condition that causes an inspiratory stridor. It tends to improve after 3-4 months. It is investigated via microlaryngoscopy.
  • Hearing Loss & Audiology: Specific dB values on the audiogram can indicate conductive or sensorineural hearing loss.
  • Salivary Glands: Saliva contains antimicrobial agents. Submandibular and parotid glands, with their respective ducts.
  • Meningitis: Secondary meningitis can be a complication of acute otitis media.
  • Neck Diseases: Inflammatory lymph nodes, lateral cysts, and fistulae (branchial cleft abnormalities), and medial cysts are common causes of neck masses in children. Deep neck space complications, like jugular vein thrombosis.
  • Otitis Media Complications: Intracranial complications of rhinosinusitis are not as common.
