corresponding meatus. Posterior to the inferior meatus is the orifice of the auditory (Eustachian) tube.
cells. The middle meatus receives drainage from the maxillary sinus, frontal sinus, and anterior ethmoid cells. The inferior meatus contains the nasolacrimal duct orice. The auditory (Eustachian) tube opens into the nasopharynx just behind and lateral to the choana at the level of the middle meatus. The pha­ryngeal tonsils, or adenoids, are aggregations of lymphoid tissue in the poste-
rior nasopharynx.
Mouth and Oral Cavity: The mouth is surrounded by two eshy lips, their
vermillion borders marking transition from cornied epithelium to non-
cornied squamous epithelium in the mouth. The philtrum is a vertical groove from the columella to vermilion border. The lips are closed and protruded by contraction of the circular orbicularis oris muscle surrounding the mouth and innervated by the facial nerve (CN-VII). Each lip is anchored to the gum by a mucosal fold, the labial frenulum. A shallow vestibule separates the lips and teeth. The oral cavity is a short tunnel with an arched roof formed by the hard and soft palate. The hard palate, composed of maxilla and palatine bones cov­ered by mucosa with a median raphe, is the roof’s anterior two-thirds. The soft palate, a fold of mucosa and muscle, continues the roof posteriorly. The cheeks and teeth form the walls and the tongue is the oor. The tunnel ends in the isthmus faucium between the faucial pillars opening into the vertical oropharynx continuous superiorly with the nasopharynx. The conical or bulbous uvula is suspended from the free border of the soft palate. The lateral borders split into two vertical folds, the tonsillar pillars. Between the anterior and posterior pil­lars lies the palatine tonsil, a mass of lymphoid tissue containing deep crypts or clefts. Similar lymphoid tissue lies in the base of the tongue, the lingual tonsil.
Teeth. Upper and lower semicircles of teeth are set in the maxilla and mandi- ble. The bony dental ridges and necks of the teeth are covered by tough brous tissue and mucosa, the gums. The gum borders are called the gingival margins. A child develops 20 deciduous teeth: from the upper and lower midline on each side there are two incisors, one canine, and a rst and second molar. These teeth are gradually lost and replaced by permanent teeth adding a rst and sec­ond premolar, or bicuspid, and a third molar making a total of 32 (Table 7-1). Dentists use a universal numbering system starting with the right upper third molar as 1 and counting left to the opposite upper third molar as 16, then

continuing down to the left lower third molar as 17 and counting right to 32 at the mandibular third molar. The eruption times of the various teeth are shown in Table 7-1.
Tongue. The tongue lies within the mandible’s horseshoe curve, its dorsal sur- face forming the oor of the oral cavity. The thin and narrow tip rests against the lingual surface of the lower incisors. The posterior and inferior root is composed of muscles and their bony attachments. The tip and dorsal surface are visible portions of a much larger muscular mass. Contracting the extrin-
sic muscles connecting the symphysis mentis of the mandible, hyoid bone, and styloid process of the temporal bone causes protrusion and retraction of the
tip, convex and concave curving of the dorsum, and moves the root upward and downward. The intrinsic muscles alter the length, width, and curvature of the dorsal surface. The lingual muscles are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (CN-XII). The tongue is free at its tip, dorsum, sides, and anteroinferior surface (Fig. 7-8). A midline fold of mucosa, the lingual frenulum, attaches the tongue to the oor of the mouth and the lingual surface of the lower gum. Near its base the frenulum swells forming twin eminences, the carunculae sub- lingualis, each containing the orice of a submandibular duct (Wharton duct). Running from the carunculae laterally and posteriorly around the tongue base is a ridge of mucosa, the plica sublingualis, punctured at intervals by duct orices from the sublingual gland lying deep to the ridges. The dorsum of the tongue extends from its tip to the epiglottis. It is bisected by the median sul-
cus from the tip to the posterior third, ending in a depression, the foramen cecum, marking the orice of the embryonic thyroglossal duct prior to closure.
A sulcus terminalis extends forward and laterally from either side of the fora- men cecum forming a V. Slightly anterior and parallel is another V formed by 8-12 discrete round eminences with concentric fossae, the vallate papil-
lae. The dorsum’s anterior two-thirds has a velvet texture from microscopic liform papillae which catch desquamated cells, bacteria, and food particles.
Scattered among the liform papillae at the tip and sides are less numerous large, raised, rounded, and deeper red fungiform papillae. Microscopic taste buds are numerous in vallate and fungiform papillae, on the tongue’s sides and back, in the soft palate, and on the posterior surface of the epiglottis. The sensory root of the facial nerve (CN-VII) supplies the taste buds in the

anterior two-thirds of the tongue via the chorda tympani. The posterior third is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN-IX).
Larynx: The larynx lies immediately behind and below the oral cavity. The
tip of the epiglottis is often visible through the mouth. Because the larynx is on the anterior wall of the pharynx with the plane of its rim sloping pos­teriorly it is easily viewed using a laryngeal mirror (Fig. 7-9). Visualize the laryngeal apparatus as three stacked incomplete rings, one atop the other, held together by ligaments. Topmost is the arched hyoid bone opening poste­riorly. Suspended below are the arched thyroid cartilage, also opening posteri­orly, and the cricoid cartilage, a complete ring xed to the tracheal rings below. Though these structures are practically subcutaneous and easily palpable in the neck, their openings are posterior and well protected.
Phonation depends on the shape, position, and movement of two ary- tenoid cartilages (Fig. 7-10), each a three-sided pyramid with a triangular slightly concave base. The cricoarytenoid joint, a synovial joint surrounded by a capsule, allows the arytenoids to glide on the convex surface of the cricoid’s posterior rim. The two erect pyramids stand on either side of the cricoid’s midline. Muscles pull on the pyramid’s faces rotating their bases at the joints. Each pyramid’s apex is surmounted by a horizontal crescent of small cartilages and ligaments pointing medially toward its opposite and curving anteriorly. From the curve of each crescent, a tough broelastic band, the true vocal cord (vocal fold), extends forward to the midline of the thy­roid cartilage. The two vocal cords form the opening into the trachea, the rima glottidis. When open, the rima is an isosceles triangle, with apex ante­rior, beneath the epiglottis and base posterior, formed by the tissue bridge between the two arytenoid crescents. As the arytenoids rotate the triangle’s legs come together posteriorly approximating the cords over their entire length and closing the airway. Above the true cords is a pair of tissue folds, the false vocal cords (ventricular folds). A membrane covering the epiglottis and continuing posteriorly to envelope the arytenoids forms the aryepiglottic folds. The protrusion of the larynx from the anterior pharyngeal wall forms

FIG. 7-11 Anatomic Relations of the Salivary Glands to the Mandible. Note that the parotid gland lies on the
later al surface of t he mandibula r ramus, curlin g behind its po sterior marg in. The submax illary glan d is on the medial s urface of the mandible with its lower margin protruding below the bone. The sublingual gland is behind the medial mandibular surface near its superior margin. Using the jaw for a landmark, the glands can be accurately located by palpation.
The Salivary Glands
Parotid glands. To recognize parotid enlargement, its location and extent must be known (Fig. 7-11). The largest salivary gland, the normal parotid is not palpable as a distinct structure. A subcutaneously supercial portion extends from the zygomatic arch superiorly to the angle of the mandible infe­riorly and from the external auditory canal posteriorly to the midportion of the masseter muscle anteriorly. The tail wraps around the angle and hori­zontal ramus of the mandible, and a deep lobe extends from the tail medially to the stylomandibular ligament and styloid muscles. The 5 cm long parotid (Stensen) duct runs forward horizontally on the masseter muscle approxi­mately one ngerbreadth below the zygomatic arch. It lies on a line from the inferior border of the concha to the commissure of the lips. At the masseter’s anterior border it pierces the buccinator muscle to reach its orice in a papilla on the buccal mucosa opposite the upper second molar.
Submandibular glands. Approximately the size of a walnut, the gland lies medial to the inner surface of the mandible. Its lower portion is palpated beneath the inferior mandibular border somewhat anterior to the angle of the jaw. The submandibular (Wharton) duct is about 5 cm long running upward and forward to the oor of the mouth where its orice is crowned by the caruncula sublingualis beside the lingual frenulum.
Sublingual glands. The smallest of the glands, it lies beneath the oor of the mouth, near the symphysis mentis. It empties through several short ducts, some with orices in the plica sublingualis, some entering the submandibular duct.
The Thyroid Gland: Knowledge of thyroid embryology is necessary for
understanding thyroid disorders. A median diverticulum invaginating from the ventral pharyngeal wall (the future foramen cecum in the tongue), goes down and back anterior to the trachea as a tubular duct, the thyroglossal duct. It bifurcates and further divides into cords that later fuse forming the

thyroid isthmus and lateral lobes. Normally, the thyroglossal duct is obliter­ated but remnants may persist forming thyroglossal sinuses or cysts. At the duct’s superior end, a normally functioning lingual thyroid gland may form. Inferiorly, ductal tissue frequently forms a pyramidal lobe arising from the isth­mus or a lateral lobe, usually the left. The pyramidal lobe may ascend anterior to the thyroid cartilage as high as the hyoid bone. Occasionally, the isthmus or a lateral lobe may fail to develop. Rarely, a lingual thyroid is the only active thyroid tissue.
The thyroid is the largest endocrine gland. It consists of two lateral lobes whose upper halves lie on either side of the projecting prow of the thyroid cartilage. The lower halves are beside the trachea (Fig. 7-12). The isthmus passes in front of the upper tracheal rings joining the lateral lobes at their lower thirds. The gland is roughly trapezoidal, the top and bottom parallel and the sides converging downward. The normal adult gland weighs ~25–30 g slightly larger in females than males. Each lateral lobe is an irregular cone ~5 cm long, ~3 cm wide, and ~2 cm thick. The right lobe is usually one-fourth larger than the left. The lateral posterior borders touch the common carotid arteries. Usually, the parathyroid glands lie on the posterior lateral surfaces. The recurrent laryngeal nerves lie close to the medial deep sur­face. Each lobe is covered anteriorly by the respective sternocleidomastoid, whereas the isthmus lying on the tracheal rings is practically subcutaneous. Paired superior and inferior thyroid arteries supply the exceedingly vascular parenchyma. The gland is rmly xed to the trachea and larynx, ascending with them during swallowing, distinguishing the thyroid from other neck masses. Consider the thyroid as part of the upper anterior mediastinum. Enlargement downward extends behind the sternum, a retrosternal goiter. The thymus gland also occupies the anterior mediastinum. Thus, a tumor of the anterior mediastinum can arise from either gland.
Examining the Scalp, Face, and Skull: Examine by inspection and palpation.
Inspect for asymmetry of the skull, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, and cheeks.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF THE HEAD AND NECK
172 CHAPTER 7: The Head and Neck
https://t.me/medicina_free
Aligning a tongue blade from the glabella’s midline to the midline of the lips reveals nasal and facial deformity. Observe ear position from the front. Inspect the scalp by displacing the hair sequentially revealing the roots. Inspect for actinic changes and lesions on sun-exposed skin, especially the helix of the ear, temples above the zygoma, forehead, cheeks, and lips. Gently palpate the skull for irregularities. Run a ngertip around the orbital rim and along the zygoma on each side. Palpate the ramus, angle, and arch of the mandible.
Examining the Ears, Hearing, and Labyrinth Function
Ears
Pinna. Inspect the pinna for size, shape, and color. Note discharge from the meatus. Palpate the consistency of the cartilages and any swellings. Assess for pain with movement of the pinna and tragus.
External acoustic meatus. Clean the canal for inspection. Remove liquid ma­terial with a cotton applicator. Remove solids under direct vision through an ear speculum with either a cotton applicator or a cerumen spoon. Use a specu­lum attached to an otoscope or a speculum and a headlamp. Select the largest speculum that will t the cartilaginous canal. Tip the head toward the oppo­site shoulder making the canal horizontal. Insert the speculum while retract­ing the pinna up and back aligning the exible cartilaginous canal with the bony canal. Use downward traction for infants and young children (Fig. 7-13). The lining epithelium of the bony canal is very sensitive, so be gentle.
TM and middle ear. Light shining on the TM reects a brilliant wedge of light, the light reex, whose apex is at the center or umbo with its legs extending radially in the anterior inferior quadrant of the TM, at approximately a right angle to the manubrium. Examine the normal landmarks of the drumhead. The manubrium of the malleus forms a smooth ridge from the umbo running radially upward and forward ending in the knob of the short process. The two mallear folds diverge from the knob to the periphery. The shadow of the incus often shows through the membrane in the upper posterior quadrant. Finally inspect the entire circumference of the annulus for perforations just inside its border. Note the color and sheen of the membrane, which should be shiny and pearly gray. Serum in the middle ear colors the TM amber or yellow
FIG. 7-13 Use of the Otoscope. Insert the ear speculum by pulling the upper edge of the pinna upward and backward
to straighten the cartilaginous meatus so that it coincides with the axis of the bony canal.

and air bubbles may be seen. Pus shows as a chalky white membrane and blood appears blue. Note changes in the denition of the manubrium. When the TM bulges it makes the landmarks indistinct or obscures them completely. Inadequate auditory (Eustachian) tube function produces TM retraction sharpening the outline of the manubrium and mallear folds. With either bulging or retraction the light reex is distorted or absent. When the incus is visible, the middle ear is normal.
Testing hearing. Rough quantitative test for hearing loss. Difculty understand- ing spoken questions signals potential hearing loss. Test with the whispered voice at the patient’s side ~ 60 cm (2 ft) from each ear while covering the far ear. The patient repeats whispered numbers, or questions that cannot be answered yes or no. Test with loud, medium, and soft tones. Alternatively, using the same intensity for all tests, nd the maximum distance at which the whisper is understood. Hearing acuity is tested with a 256 or 1024 cycles per second tuning fork. The 128-cycle fork for testing vibratory sense is too low pitched.
Distinguishing neurosensory and conductive hearing loss. Use a tuning fork hav­ing a frequency of 256 or 1024 cycles per second. Tap the fork on the base of the other hand. The
Weber test (Fig. 7-14A) places the handle of the vibrating
fork against the skull’s midline asking whether the sound is louder in one ear than the other. With normal neurosensory hearing and no conductive loss the sounds are equal in both ears. The Rinne test (Fig. 7-14B) is done in each ear sequentially. First, press the vibrating tuning fork against the mastoid process (bone conduction) and then place the tines near the ear canal (air conduction). Ask which is louder. When air conduction is louder than bone conduction, the test is arbitrarily said to be Rinne-positive, a normal result. The test is Rinne-negative when bone conduction is louder than air conduction. Have the patient indicate when the sound is no longer heard by air conduction. See if you can hear the vibrating fork to compare their hearing to yours.
Testing vestibular function. The Dix–Hallpike maneuver for positional vertigo. With the patient sitting on the exam table, inspect the eyes carefully for
FIG. 7-14 Tests of Hearing Perception and Conduction. A. Weber test: The vibrating tuning fork is on the
midline of the skull. Lateralization of the sound to one ear indicates a conductive loss on that side, or a perceptive loss on the other side. B. Rinne test: T he handle of t he tuning for k is first place d against the m astoid proce ss then near t he external e ar. Each time the patient indicates when the sound ceases. Normally, duration of air conduction is twice that of bone conduction.

spontaneous nystagmus. Then, keeping the eyes open, have the patient lie supine with the head extending beyond the end of the table, the chin elevated ~30 degrees and the head turned 45 degrees to the right. Observe the eyes for 30 seconds looking for nystagmus. Return the patient to the sitting posi­tion inspecting the eyes for another 30 seconds. Repeat the test with the head turning to the left. A positive test induces nystagmus, often accompanied by intense nausea. The slow component of the nystagmus is in the direction of endolymph ow; nystagmus is named for its fast component.
Test for Past Pointing. The patient sits with her eyes closed while pointing her forengers toward the examiner (Fig. 7-15). The examiner’s forengers are lightly placed and held under hers. Ask the patient to raise her arms and hands and then return them to the starting position. Normally, this maneuver can be performed accurately. Past pointing indicates either loss of positional sense or labyrinth stimulation.
Romberg Test. The patient stands with heels and toes close together (Fig. 7-16). Assure the patient that you will not let her fall, being prepared to catch her should she fall. Have her close her eyes and observe for several seconds.
FIG. 7-15 Past Pointing Test for Labyrinthine Disorders.
FIG. 7-16 Falling Test for Labyrinthine Disorders (Romberg Sign). Normally, the patient will waver somewhat,
but not fall. With labyrinthine stimulation, the patient tends to fall in the direction of the flow of endolymph. Falling may also indicate loss of positional sense as in cerebellar deficits.
Physical Examination of the Head and Neck 175

Normally, patients will be steady, even with gentle, forewarned, pushes on the trunk. Falling during the test means the Romberg sign is present.
Examining the Eyes, Visual Fields, and Visual Acuity
Palpebral ssures and globe position. From a distance, note the width and sym­metry of the palpebral ssures. Look for protrusion or recession of one or both globes by inspecting the eyes from the front, prole, and above (looking down­ward over the forehead), or from below (looking up over the cheekbones). If proptosis (protrusion) is suspected, use a Hertel exophthalmometer to measure the distance from the outer edge of the bony orbit to the anterior surface of the cornea. There are familial and racial degrees of proptosis, and individual varia­tion is great. Progressive anterior displacement on repeated exams is pathologic.
Inspecting for inammation. Inspect for redness and/or swelling and involvement of one or both eyes and/or eyelids.
Testing for lid lag, lid retraction, and scleral show. Use a nger or penlight as a target ~50 cm (20 inch) away. Starting above eye level, repeatedly move the target slowly up and down in the midline (Fig. 7-17). Lid-lag is present when white sclera appears between the lid margin and limbus. Lid retrac­tion is dynamic upper lid elevation while xing gaze on a spot. Scleral show is more constant exposure of the sclera. The inferior sclera shows below the limbus in some normal individuals.
Testing for Strabismus (Heterotropia). First conrm functional vision in each eye.
Cover–uncover test. With the gaze xed on a target, cover one eye while watching the uncovered eye (Fig. 7-18) seeing if it moves to take up xa­tion. Allow the patient to look with both eyes, then cover the other eye again watching the uncovered eye seeing if it moves to xation. If there is xation movement, the patient has heterotropia (strabismus, squint). Constant mis­alignment of this type is manifest deviation or tropia.
Alternate cover test. While the patient holds visual xation, repeatedly cover one eye then the other. If there was not a manifest deviation by cover-uncover testing, but now, when uncovered, each eye moves to pick up xation, latent
