Chapter 5: Diseases and Disorders of the Eye and Ear: Diagnosis Flashcards
What is the diagnosis of Presbyopia
tests for visual acuity and refraction to diagnose
What is the diagnosis of Nystagmus
clinically by external examination of eyes and observation of movements
What is the diagnosis of Strabismus
physician performs complete ophthalmic exam and orders tests for underlying cause
What is the diagnosis of Hordeolum (Stye)
visual examination alone
What is the diagnosis of Chalazion
visual examination and patient history
What is the diagnosis of Keratitis
examining cornea using a slit lamp confirms; indicate URI
What is the diagnosis of Blepharitis
visual examination of eyelids; presence of collarettes (tiny scales)
What is the diagnosis of Entropion
lashes are visible on conjunctiva by examination
What is the diagnosis of Ectropion
visual examination
What is the diagnosis of Blepharoptosis
blood tests and imaging to rule out underlying disease; obvious by looking
What is the diagnosis of Conjunctivitis
examination reveals inflammation of the conjunctiva
What is the diagnosis of Corneal Abrasion or Ulcer
presence of characteristic symptoms as well as by a visual examination; stain with fluorescein; opaque area
What is the diagnosis of Episcleritis/Scleritis
blood tests to determine underlying causes; ultrasound, MRI to identify underlying cause
What is the diagnosis of Cataract
ophthalmoscopy with dilation of eye and a slit-lamp examination
What Is the diagnosis of Chronic Open-Angle Glaucoma
ophthalmic exam with tonometry; examining optic nerve
What is the diagnosis of Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma
substantial intraocular pressure; use goniolens to determine open or closed
What is the diagnosis of Macular Degeneration
thorough exam by an ophthalmologist with dilated; pigment changes in macular area and drusen deposits
What is the diagnosis Diabetic Retinopathy
opthalmoscopic examination detects retinal effects of diabetes
What is the diagnosis of Retinal Detachment
ophthalmoscopic examination readily reveals the retinal detachment
What is the diagnosis of Uveitis
slit lamp examination; sometimes skin tests for TB; toxoplasmosis
What is the diagnosis of Exophthalmos
ophthalmic exam obvious; determine underlying cause
What is the diagnosis of Cancer of the Eye
routine eye exam; ultrasound; funduscopic examination and MRI
What is the diagnosis of Impacted Cerumen
otologic examination, and patient history
What is the diagnosis of Infective Otitis Externa
otologic examination, and patient history; bacterial culture if caused by bacteria
What is the diagnosis of Swimmer’s Ear
otologic examination, and patient history; bacterial culture if caused by bacteria
What is the diagnosis of Otitis Media
otoscopy revelas presence of fluid-filled middle ear; audiometry determine if any hearing loss
What is the diagnosis of Otosclerosis
audiogram, patient history, and otoscopy
What is the diagnosis of Meniere’s Disease
presence of four core symptoms: recurring vertigo, tinnitus, progressive hearing loss, sensation of fullness (aural fullness) in ear
What is the diagnosis of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
history and examination; false sensation of room spinning or patient spinning, nystagmus
What is the diagnosis of Labyrinthitis
results of several tests: audiometry and blood, neurologic, caloric, imaging studies
What is the diagnosis of Ruptured Tympanic Membrane (Ruptured Eardrum)
visual examination of ear with otoscope; purulent drainage present
What is the diagnosis of Cholesteatoma
otoscopy, and audiometry; culture of drainage for effective treatment
What is the diagnosis of Mastoiditis
history, otoscopy, audiomety, radiographic studies; blood and culture studies
What is the diagnosis of Sensorineural Hearing Loss
audiometry findings; finding underlying cause if there is one
What is the diagnosis of Cancer of the Ear
symptoms lead to diagnosis; biopsy to confirm nature of lesion; CT and MRI to evaluate extent
