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 eusion, 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. Denitive 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 ofthenose
The structure of the nose is related to its function:the large surface area of mucosa over the turbinates humidies, 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 postnasalspace.
Thudichum’s speculum:this is useful to view the anterior – inferior
nasal septum including Little’sarea.
Position the patient in a chair slightly higher than your own. Ask the patient to remove any glasses.
Externalnose
Examine the skin for lesions or scarring.
Note any redness, discharge, crusting, or oensivesmell.
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.
Internalnose
Examine the appearance of the na sal mucosa, including colour,
texture, and hydration.
Check for inammation, position of the septum, and presence of
polyps (insensitive to touch).
Aforeign body, usually accompanied by an oensive unilater al
discharge, may be seen inside the nose of a child. Infestation israre.
