1 Physical examination of the head and the neck I,II Physical examination of the eyes and the throat doc. MUDr Jitka Zelenková, CSc

2 Inspection The head is usually mesocephalic in shape, freely moveable, with characteristic border between facial and hairy parts Shape variations: turicephalia (oxycephalia) dolichocephalia brachycephalia mikrocephalia macrocephalia assymetric head

3 Movement Shiver Hair cover rough nodding movement
Alopecia (hairlessness) diffuse local

4 Palpation Deviations are ussually recognised by palpation of the hairy part of the head small tumours soft stiffer very hard pulsating formations inflammations folliculitis furuncle erysipelas The 1st,2nd, and 3rd branches of n.V. are not painful

5 Percussion Percussional examination of the head is not painful

6 is symetrical, the skin is pink, with no pathological changes
Face is symetrical, the skin is pink, with no pathological changes Inflammations erysipelas herpes zoster herpes simplex parotitis furuncle acne

7 Neoplasmas benign tumours fibroma lipoma atheroma malignant tumours
basaloma spinocellular carcinoma malanoblastoma „Butterfly exanthema“

8 Swellings Prominences Hirsutism of dental origin
above the maxillary cavities in front of the ear Prominences Hirsutism

9 The expression of the face
facies febrilis facies Hippocratica facies mitralis facies nephritica facies plethorica

10 Facies in cases of endocrinopathy
acromegaly thyrotoxycosis myxoedema Cushing´s syndrome

11 Innervation of the cranial nerves
N.VII. (facialis) Central paresis Peripheral paresis N.V. (trigeminus)

12 Eyebrows are symmetrical
Eyes and surroundings Eyebrows are symmetrical asymmetric eyebrows thinned eyebrows supraorbital arcs

13 Eyelids without swellings
bilaterally unilaterally eyeglass-like haematoma epicanthus ectropion entropion xanthelasma hyperpigmentation

14 Eye slits Eyeballs bilateral narrowing asymmetry
The bulbus are in the central position,freely movable in all directions exopthalmos enophthalmos convergent strabismus divergent strabismus

15 Motility of the eyeballs
convergent and divergent strabismus nystagmus

16 Conjuctivae are pink, sclerae are anicteric
paleness hyperaemia xerophthalmia Scleare yellow color redding of the bulbar conjuctiva sub-conjuctival haemorrhage

17 are round, isocoric, react to light exposure and convergence
Pupils are round, isocoric, react to light exposure and convergence meiosis mydriasis anisocoria Cornea is transparent turbidities and ulcers arcus senilis lipoides corneae corneal reflex

18 Nose is of adequate size and shape, symmetric, freely passable, without secretion big nose rhinophyma saddle nose asymmetric epistaxis inflammation furuncle herpes febrilis

19 are symmetric, pink, smooth, and moist
Lips are symmetric, pink, smooth, and moist asymmetric cyanotic dry inflamed cheilitis herpes labialis (febrilis) anguli infectiosi

20 Smell from oral cavity (foetor ex ore) is not normally present
non-characteristic characteristic acetone smell alcoholic hepatic urine

21 Mucous membrane of oral cavity is pink, shiny, without pathological changes
pale erythematous black spots Koplick´s spots petechia, suffusion erosions soor (trush)

22 Tonque sticks out in medial line, it is pink and wet
deviation dry coated raspberry-coloured couted tonque Hunter ś glossitis macroglossia

23 Gums are pink, strong, without bleeding display
erythematous bleeding manifestations coloured edge soor

24 Teeth are fully developed, healthy
decayed teeth defective teeth dentures (prosthesis) periodontitis

25 The pharynx entrance is symmetrical, muscous membrane is pink, symmetrically developing when phonating, and tonsils are symmetrical, partly submerged Soft palate, arches, uvula yellowish, or yellow eythematous blisters asymmetric

26 Tonsils missing tonsils submerged hypertrophied enlarged, erythematous
asymmetric

27 Auricles are of a characteristic shape, external auditory meatus without effusion: pressure on tragus and palpation on processus mastoideus are painless gouty tophi secretion in auditory meatus bleeding from auditory meatus pulling the auricle

28 Examination of the neck Inspection
The shape and lenght of neck are proportional to the body slim strong pulsation of carotid vessels horizontal scars Post-radiation changes

29 Change of posture Movements is free in all directions Palpation
movements limitations Musset´s symptom Change of posture deviation on the side opisthotonus Palpation carotid artery

30 Thyroid gland is normally neither visible nor palpable
small diffuse goitre colloidal goitre Hashimoto´s goitre thyreoiditis Basedow´s goitre malignant goitre nodal goitre retrosternal goitre

31 Cervical veins-in healthy lying patient with elevation of upper part of trunk at 45 degrees, the filling of the veins does not exceed the horizontal plain of sternocostal joint more than 2 cm higher filling positive vein pulsation hepatojugular reflux Stocke´s collar

32 Lymphatic nodes in regional areas are not visible or palpable
enlargement of inflamed node single node multiple nodes enlargement of tumours node Auscultation
