CHAP TER6 Theear
painful. Other sites of deposition include the olecranon bursa and proximal and distal interphalangeal joints of the ngers. It would be rare for
the appearance of tophi to be the presenting symptom in a patient with
gout. Small deposits can resolve on ur ic acid- lowering medication, larger
deposits may require sur ger y to remove.
bAural fullness
This is the sensation of ‘ear fullness’, or ‘ear pressure’ of ten associated
with tinnitus, hearing disturbance, autophony, nasal obstruction, and sore
throat. It is often reported in the early stages of Ménière’s disease and idiopathic sensorineural hear ing loss. Ear fullness can be caused by Eustachian
tube dysfunction, otitis media with eusion, and chronic otitis media. The
underlying mechanisms may involve any part of the ear, from the external
audit ory cana l to the inne r ear. Howeve r, in aroun d 10% of patient s no cause
can be found. Rarely this can be a symptom of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
bEar itching
Itching can be a symptom of ear infection, commonly otitis ex terna.
Other possible causes include insect bites, cont act allergies, and trauma .
Chickenpox is accompanied by red, oozing blisters that cause intense
itching. Eczema, contact dermatitis, scabies, and ringworm are other
sources of itching.
bPerilymphatic stulas
This is a pathological defect bet ween the air- lled middle ear and the
uid- lled inner ear, in either the round window or oval window membranes. The result is leakage of perilymph uid from the semi- circular
canals into the middle ear with changes in middle ear pressure transmitted directly to the inner ear. Symptoms include sensor ineural hearing
loss, which can be sudden or progressive, vertigo, and tinnitus. It can
be a congenital condition, the consequence of middle ear disease such
as cholesteatoma, secondar y to tr auma or rapid pressure changes that
can occur in SCUBA diving or following middle ear surgery. Denitive
diagnosis is by means of surgery with direct visualization of the stula.
Symptoms can resolve with bed rest, with sur ger y reserved for those
with persistent symptoms.

Examination ofthenose
The structure of the nose is related to its function:the large surface area
of mucosa over the turbinates humidies, warms, and lters particles
from the air. The roof of the nose contains specialized neuroepithelium
to provide the sense of smell. Normal air ow uctuates slightly through
each nostril (nasal c ycle).
Thorough examination of the nose requires special equipment:
• Headlamp.
• Na sal mirror and tongue spatula:it may be necessary to anaesthetize
the oropharynx with topical anaesthesia prior to examining the
postnasalspace.
• Thudichum’s speculum:this is useful to view the anterior – inferior
nasal septum including Little’sarea.
Position the patient in a chair slightly higher than your own. Ask the
patient to remove any glasses.
Externalnose
• Examine the skin for lesions or scarring.
• Note any redness, discharge, crusting, or oensivesmell.
• Palpate the nasal bones and lateral car tilages, looking for asymmetr y,
mobility, or other abnormality.
• Have the patient tilt their head back to allow you to inspect the
columella and alar cartilages.
Internalnose
• Examine the appearance of the na sal mucosa, including colour,
texture, and hydration.
• Check for inammation, position of the septum, and presence of
polyps (insensitive to touch).
• Aforeign body, usually accompanied by an oensive unilater al
discharge, may be seen inside the nose of a child. Infestation israre.
