1 BATES VISUAL GUIDE TO PHYSICAL EXAMINATION Vol. 7: Head, Eyes, and Ears Your learning objectives for mastering the examination of the head, eyes, and ears are: to identify and examine key structures basic to the head, eyes, and ears; to sharpen skills for assessing and describing the patient s general appearance, including facial expression, contours, and asymmetry; to be familiar with the techniques of examination of the scalp and hair, including abnormalities; to accurately assess visual acuity, extraocular movements, pupilary reaction, and auditory acuity; and to properly perform a fundoscopic exam. Anatomy Review Head With the patient s health history in mind, you are now ready for the examination. Before beginning, let s review the important regions and structures of the head. Regions of the head take their names from the underlying bones of the skull. The frontal area overlies the frontal bone; the temporal area, the temporal bone; the parietal area, the parietal bone; and the occipital area overlies the occipital bone. And the superficial temporal artery passes upward just in front of the ear, where it is readily palpable. Two pairs of salivary glands lie near the mandible: The parotid glands lie superficial to and behind the mandible, and become both visible and palpable when enlarged. The submandibular glands are located beneath the tongue, located deep to the mandible. The openings of the parotid and submandibular ducts are visible within the oral cavity. Common or concerning symptoms relating to the head, eyes, and ears include: Headache (one of the most common symptoms in clinical practice); change in vision resulting in hyperopia, presbyopia, myopia, or scotomatas; double vision (or diplopia); hearing loss, earache, or tinnitus; and vertigo. By eliciting the patient s concerns before the examination, you prepare for an examination that is focused, efficient, and productive. Examining the Head After comprehensive hand hygiene, you are ready for the physical examination. Because abnormalities covered by the hair are easily missed, ask the patient if they have noticed anything wrong with the scalp or hair. If the patient is wearing a hairpiece or wig, ask the patient to remove it. Copyright 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 1
2 Inspect the hair noting its quantity, texture, distribution, and pattern of loss if any. You may see loose flakes of dandruff. Part the hair in several areas to inspect the scalp. Look for scaliness, lumps, nevi, or other lesions. Observe the general size and contour of the skull. Note any deformities, depressions, lumps, or tenderness. Learn to recognize the irregularities in a normal skull, such as those near the suture lines between the parietal and occipital bones. When examining the patient s face, observe it at rest and during conversation, noting facial expressions and contours, and observing for asymmetry, involuntary movements, edema, and masses. Assess the color and condition of the skin on the face, noting its color, pigmentation, texture, thickness, hair distribution, and any lesions. Anatomy Review Eyes Before examining the patient s eyes, let s review their anatomy. Note that the upper eyelid covers a portion of the iris, but does not normally overlay the pupil. The opening between the eyelids is called the palpebral fissure. The white sclera may look somewhat buff colored at its periphery. Do not mistake this color for jaundice, which is a deeper yellow. The conjunctiva is a clear mucous membrane with two easily visible components. The bulbar conjunctiva covers most of the anterior eyeball. It adheres loosely to the underlying tissue and meets the cornea at the limbus. The palpebral conjunctiva lines the upper and lower eyelids. The two parts of the conjunctiva merge in a folded recess that permits movement of the eyeball. Within the eyelids lie firm strips of connective tissue called the tarsal plates. Each plate contains a parallel row of meibomian glands, which open on the lid margin. The levator palpebrae is the muscle that raises the upper eyelid. A film of tear fluid protects the conjunctiva and cornea from drying and infection. This fluid comes from three sources: the lacrimal gland, the conjunctival glands, and the meibomian glands. Tear fluid from the lacrimal gland above the eye drains medially through the lacrimal puncta and passes into the lacrimal sac and onto the nose through the nasolacrimal duct. You can easily find the punctum atop the small elevation of the lower lid medially. The lacrimal sac rests inside the bony orbit and is not visible. The cornea is the transparent, anterior portion of the outer covering of the eye. The muscles of the iris control the size of the pupil. Muscles of the ciliary body control the thickness of the lens, allowing the Copyright 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 2
3 eye to focus on near or distant objects. The ciliary body also produces a clear liquid called aqueous humor, which helps control the pressure inside the eye and drains out through the Canal of Schlemm. The posterior part of the eye that is seen through the ophthalmoscope is called the fundus. The optic nerve enters the eyeball posteriorly. You ll find it with an ophthalmoscope at the optic disc where the retinal arteries and veins converge. Lateral and slightly inferior to the disc is a darkened circular area called the fovea. This surrounds a small depression in the retinal surface that marks the point of central vision. The macula surrounds the fovea but has no discernible margins. Note the absence of retinal vessels in much of this area. The retina is the light-sensitive membrane that covers the fundus. A transparent mass of gelatinous material called the vitreous body fills the eyeball and is not usually visible through the ophthalmoscope. This helps maintain the shape of the eye. To see an image, light reflected from the image must pass through the pupil and be focused on sensory neurons in the retina. The image (represented here by the letter A) is projected on the retina upside down and reversed left to right. Nerve impulses, stimulated by light, are conducted through the retina, optic nerve, and optic tract into the brain. Examining the Eyes Begin the eye examination by assessing the patient s visual acuity. Have the patient stand 20 feet from a Snellen Eye Chart. Patients who use contact lenses or glasses should wear them. However, patients should remove reading glasses, which can blur distance vision. What I d like you to do is hold this card in front of your left eye Okay. and then I want you to look at the chart and read the smallest line possible. Okay. [READS CHART] D, E, F, P, O T Visual acuity printed at the side of the line of the eye chart and is expressed as two numbers (for example, 20/20). The first number indicates the distance of the patient from the chart, and the second number indicates the distance at which a normal eye can read the line of letters. Repeat the test on the other eye. For screening purposes, visual fields are tested by confrontation, which is a valuable technique for early detection of lesions in the anterior and posterior visual pathway. Two tests are recommended. For the static finger wiggle test, face the patient directly and imagine a glass bowl encircling her head with the base of the bowl facing you. Look directly into my eyes with both of your eyes. Copyright 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 3
4 Okay. Ask the patient to look with both eyes into your eyes. Then, place your hands about 2 feet apart lateral to the patient s ears. Slowly move your wiggling fingers of both hands along the imaginary surface of the bowl toward the central vision line. Ask the patient to tell you as soon as she sees the finger movement. Yes, I see it down there. Map out the maximum lateral extent of the left and right monocular visual fields. If you think you have found a visual defect, try to establish its boundaries, testing one eye at a time. For instance, if you suspect a temporal defect in the left visual field, ask the patient to cover the right eye and with the left eye, look into your eye opposite. Then, slowly move your wiggling fingers from the defective area of the field toward the better vision, noting where the patient first responds. Repeat this at several levels until you can define the border of the defect. Then test the other eye for an accompanying defect. There, there I see them there. Next, for the Kinetic Red Target Test, face the patient and move a 5 millimeter, red-topped pin inward from beyond the boundary of each quadrant along a line bisecting the horizontal and vertical meridians. Ask the patient when the pin first appears to be red. Visually inspect the patient s eyes for position and alignment. Also, examine the eyebrows and closely inspect the eyelids for the width of the palpebral fissures, edema and color of the lids, any lesions, and the condition and direction of the eyelashes. Note the adequacy of eyelid closure, especially when the eyes are unusually prominent, when there is facial paralysis, or when the patient is unconscious. Inspect the area over the lacrimal gland and lacrimal sac for swelling. And look for excessive tearing or dryness. To inspect the sclera, and the conjunctiva, ask the patient to look up as you depress the lower lids with your thumbs. Look for any nodules or swelling and inspect for color. Note the vascular pattern against the white scleral background. Ask the patient to look at each side and down. This will give you a good view of the sclera and bulbar conjunctiva. If you need to view the palpebral conjunctiva of the upper lid, the eyelid must be everted. With oblique lighting, inspect each cornea and lens for opacities. To do this, shine a penlight from the side toward the eye. At the same time, inspect each iris. Normally, iris markings are clearly defined. With your light shining from the temporal side, look for a crescentic shadow on the medial side of the iris, which suggests glaucoma. Copyright 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 4
5 Inspect the size, shape, and symmetry of the pupils. You can use a gauge with circles of varying sizes to measure pupillary size. Next, test the pupillary reactions to light. First, darken the room. Then ask the patient to look into the distance. Shine a bright light obliquely into each pupil in turn. (The oblique lighting and the distant gaze both help to prevent a near reaction.) Look for the direct reaction, consisting of pupillary constriction in the eye being illuminated directly. Then quickly swing the light to the other eye, looking for the consensual reaction, which is pupillary constriction in the opposite eye. If the reaction to light is questionable, test the near reaction in normal light. Testing one eye at a time, hold a pencil or your finger about 10 centimeters from the patient s eye. Ask the patient to look alternately at it and into the distance directly behind it. Watch for pupillary constriction with near effort. Next, assess ocular alignment arising from the extraocular muscles. From about 2 feet directly in front of the patient, shine a light onto the patient s eyes and ask the patient to look at it. Inspect the reflections in the corneas. They should be visible slightly nasal to the center of the pupils. Next, assess the extraocular movements, looking forthe normal conjugate movements of the eyes in each direction, or any deviation from normal; nystagmus, a fine rhythmic oscillation of the eyes; and lid lag as the eyes move up and down. Ask the patient to follow your finger or a pencil as you sweep through the six cardinal directions of gaze. Making a wide H in the air, lead the patient s gaze to the patient s extreme right, to the right and upward down on the right, then without pausing, up to the extreme left, then upward. To detect horizontal, vertical, or rotatory nystagmus, look for a jerking movement of the eyes as the patient looks to the far left, then the far right, then up and down. If you suspect lid lag or hyperthyroidism, ask the patient to follow your finger again as you move it slowly from up to down in the midline and look for a white rim of sclera above the iris. Normally, the lid should overlap the iris slightly throughout this movement. Test for convergence of the eyes by asking the patient to look at your finger as you move it toward the bridge of the nose. The eyes can usually follow your finger to within 5 to 8 centimeters of contact. Next, after darkening the room, conduct your ophthalmoscopic examination. Switch on the ophthalmoscope light and adjust it to the large, round beam of white light. Note that some examiners prefer the smaller beam of light to avoid hippus, or spasm of the ciliary muscles. Also, make sure the light is set to the appropriate brightness, often about 80% of full brightness to minimize pupillary constriction. Initially set the ophthalmoscope to the zero diopter. Ask the patient to look over your shoulder at a specific spot on the wall. Copyright 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 5
6 Remember to use your right eye and right hand as you examine the patient s right eye. From 15 inches away and 20 degrees lateral to the patient s line of vision, shine the light beam on the pupil. Make sure you can see clearly through the aperture. You may wish to place the thumb of your other hand across the patient s eyebrow to help keep you steady. Locate the red reflex, which should appear as an orange glow in the pupil. Note any opacities that interrupt the red reflex. While holding the red reflex in view, move in with the ophthalmoscope on the 15 degree angle toward the pupil until the ophthalmoscope is close to the eye, almost touching your thumb. Locate the yellowish-orange structure that is the optic disc. If you do not see it at first, follow the retinal vessels centrally until you do. Now, using your index finger, bring the optic disc into sharp focus by adjusting the lens of the ophthalmoscope. Note the color of the optic disc, the size of the central physiologic cup, and the clarity of the disc margin. The cup to disc ratio, usually 1:3, can be elevated in glaucoma. Also note the comparative symmetry of the eyes and fundi. Normally the optic disc is yellowish orange to creamy pink and round or oval with well-demarcated margins. Look for papilledema, which is a swelling of the optic disc and anterior bulging of the physiologic cup. Papilledema often signals elevated intracranial pressure seen in mass lesions, meningitis, or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Moving your head and instrument as a unit, inspect the retina, including the arteries and veins as they extend from the disc to the periphery. Note the relative size and color of the narrower, lighter arteries and the larger, darker veins. Examine the surrounding retina for lesions noting their size, shape, color, and distribution. Finally, examine the fovea and surrounding macula by directing your light beam laterally or asking the patient to look directly into the light. The tiny bright reflection at the center of the fovea may help orient you. To focus on more anterior structures, such as opacities in the vitreous body or the lens, change the diopter on the ophthalmoscope to more positive numbers such as +10 or +12. Repeat the ophthalmoscopic examination on the patient s left eye using your left hand and left eye. Anatomy Review Ears Before examining the patient s ears, let s review their anatomy. The ear is composed of three components: the external ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Copyright 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 6
7 The external ear includes the auricle and the ear canal. The auricle consists chiefly of cartilage covered by skin. Its prominent curved outer ridge is the helix. Parallel and anterior to the helix is another curved prominence called the antihelix. Inferiorly is the fleshy projection of the earlobe or lobule. The ear canal opens behind the tragus and curves inward and is about 24 millimeters long. The inner portion of the canal is surrounded by bone and lined by thin, hairless skin. Pressure here causes pain, a point to remember when you examine the ear. At the end of the ear canal lies the tympanic membrane (or eardrum). Behind and below the ear is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. The lowest portion of this bone, the mastoid process, is palpable behind the lobule. The external ear captures sound waves for transmission into the middle and inner ear. The middle ear is an air-filled cavity that transmits sound by way of the eardrum and three tiny bones or ossicles: the malleus, the incus, and the stapes. The inner ear contains the cochlea, the semicircular canals, and the distal end of the cochlear nerve. Much of the middle ear and all of the inner ear are inaccessible to direct examination. These can be assessed by testing auditory function. Air conduction describes the normal first phase in the hearing pathway. An alternate pathway, known as bone conduction, bypasses the external and middle ear and is used for testing purposes. Examining the Ears Begin the examination of the ear by inspecting the auricle and surrounding tissues for deformities, lumps or skin lesions. If ear pain, discharge, or inflammation is present, do the tug test to test for otitis externa, or external otitis. Move the auricle up and down, press the tragus and press firmly on the mastoid bone behind the ear. Tenderness here suggests mastoiditis. Next, examine the ear canal and eardrum using an otoscope. To do this, select the largest speculum the patient s ear canal will accommodate. Position the patient s head so that you can see through the otoscope comfortably. To straighten the ear canal, grasp the auricle firmly but gently and, in an adult, pull it upward, back, and slightly away from the head. Insert the speculum gently into the ear canal, directing it somewhat downward and forward, bracing your hand against the patient s face. Note any cerumen (or ear wax) that may impair your view. Also, observe for any discharge, foreign bodies, redness of the skin, or swelling. Copyright 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 7
8 Maneuver the speculum until you can see as much of the eardrum as possible, including the pars flaccida, if possible, and the margins of the pars tensa. Note the color and contour of the eardrum with its distinct cone of light. Normally, the drum is pearly gray. Also, note the position of the handle of the malleus and inspect the short process of the malleus. The handle of the malleus, with the umbo at its tip, crosses the eardrum obliquely from the cone of light upward toward the short process. Be sure to examine the other ear in the same manner. To assess hearing, ask the patient: Do you feel you have a hearing loss or difficulty hearing? If the patient reports hearing loss, proceed to the whispered voice test. To assess hearing, test one ear at a time. Stand 2 feet behind the seated patient. Occlude the non-test ear of the patient with your finger and gently rub the tragus in a circular motion to prevent transfer of sound to that ear. And now, tell me what I m saying. Exhale fully to ensure a quiet voice, and test the open ear by softly whispering a combination of three numbers and letters. Gradually increase your volume until the patient can identify your words. If the patient responds incorrectly, test a second time with a different number/letter combination. In a normal response, the patient will repeat at least three out of the possible six numbers and letters correctly. Repeat on the other side. For patients failing the whispered voice test, a tuning fork test helps determine if the hearing loss is conductive or neurosensory in origin. In a quiet room, select a tuning fork of 256 or 512 Hertz, as these frequencies fall in the range of conversational speech. Set the fork into light vibration by tapping it on your hand. Test for lateralization by performing the Weber test. Place the base of a vibrating tuning fork firmly on top of the patient s head or on the mid-forehead. Then ask: Is the sound louder in one ear, or the same in both ears? It s the same in both ears. Normally, the sound is heard in the midline or equally on both sides. Next, compare air and bone conduction by performing the Rinne test. Place a lightly vibrating tuning fork on the mastoid bone behind the ear and level with the canal. When the patient indicates that the sound is no longer heard, quickly place the vibrating fork near the ear canal and ask if the sound can be heard. Copyright 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. Page 8
9 The U of the fork should face forward, maximizing the sound for the patient. Normally the sound can be heard longer through the air than through bone. Be sure to test the opposite ear. Recording Your Findings Remember that a clear, well-organized clinical record employing language that is neutral, professional, and succinct is one of the most important adjuncts to patient care.
