Anatomy and Physiology and Techniques of Examination

examples of abnormalities

Techniques of Examination Because abnormalities covered by the hair are easily missed, ask if the patient has noticed anything wrong with the scalp or hair. If you detect a hairpiece or wig, ask the patient to remove it.

Examine:

The Hair. Note its quantity, distribution, texture, and any pattern of loss. You may see loose flakes of dandruff.

Fine hair is seen in hyperthyroidism; coarse hair in hypothyroidism. Tiny white ovoid granules that adhere to hairs may be nits (lice eggs). Look for redness and scaling that may indicate seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis; soft lumps that may be pilar cysts (wens); pigmented nevi. An enlarged skull may signify hydro- cephalus or Paget’s disease of bone. Palpable tenderness or step-offs may be present after head trauma.

The Scalp. Part the hair in several places and look for scaliness, lumps, nevi, or other lesions.

The Skull. Observe the general size and contour of the skull. Note any deformities, depressions, lumps, or tenderness. Learn to recognize the ir- regularities in a normal skull, such as those near the suture lines between the parietal and occipital bones. The Face. Note the patient’s facial expression and contours. Observe for asymmetry, involuntary movements, edema, and masses. The Skin. Observe the skin, noting its color, pigmentation, texture, thick- ness, hair distribution, and any lesions.

See Table 7-5, Selected Facies, p. 264.

Acne is found in many adolescents. Hirsutism (excessive facial hair)

occurs in some women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

THE EYES Anatomy and Physiology

Identify the structures illustrated at the right. 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.

Anatomy and Physiology andTechniques of Examination

examples of abnormalities

Cornea and Lens.  With oblique lighting, inspect the cornea of each eye for opacities and note any opacities in the lens that may be visible through the pupil. Iris.  At the same time, inspect each iris. The markings should be clearly defined. With your light shining directly from the temporal side, look for a crescentic shadow on the medial side of the iris. Because the iris is normally fairly flat and forms a relatively open angle with the cornea, this lighting casts no shadow.

See Table 7-9, Opacities of the Cornea and Lens, p. 268.

Occasionally the iris bows abnor- mally far forward, forming a very narrow angle with the cornea. The light then casts a crescentic shadow. This narrow angle increases the risk for acute narrow-angle glaucoma—a sudden increase in intraocular pres- sure when drainage of the aqueous humor is blocked. In open-angle glaucoma, the com- mon form of glaucoma, the normal spatial relation between iris and cornea is preserved and the iris is fully lit.

Light

Light

Pupils.  Inspect the size, shape, and symmetry of the pupils. If the pupils are large ( > 5 mm), small ( < 3 mm), or unequal, measure them. Use a card with black circles of varying sizes to measure pupillary size.

Miosis refers to constriction of the pupils, mydriasis to dilation.

1 2 3 4 5

7 mm

Simple anisocoria, or a difference in pupillary size of 0.04 mm or greater, is visible in approximately 35% of healthy people. If pupillary reactions are normal, anisocoria is considered benign. 41

Compare benign anisocoria with Horner’s syndrome, oculomotor nerve paralysis, and tonic pupil. See Table 7-10, Pupillary Abnormalities, p. 269.

Test the pupillary reaction to light. Ask the patient to look into the distance, and shine a bright light obliquely into each pupil in turn. Both the distant gaze and the oblique lighting help to prevent a near reaction. Look for:

●● The direct reaction (pupillary constriction in the same eye)

●● The consensual reaction (pupillary constriction in the opposite eye)

Steps for Using theOphthalmoscope ( continued )

converges nor diverges light. Keep your finger on the edge of the lens disc so you can turn the disc to focus the lens when you examine the fundus. ◗◗ Hold the ophthalmoscope in your right hand and use your right eye to examine the patient’s right eye ; hold it in your left hand and use your left eye to examine the patient’s left eye . This keeps you from bumping the patient’s nose and gives you more mobility and closer range for visualizing the fundus. At first, you may have difficulty using your nondominant eye, but this will abate with practice. ◗◗ Hold the ophthalmoscope firmly braced against the medial aspect of your bony orbit, with the handle tilted laterally at about a 20-degree slant from the vertical. Check to make sure you can see clearly through the aperture. Instruct the patient to look slightly up and over your shoulder at a point directly ahead on the wall. ◗◗ Place yourself about 15 inches away from the patient and at an angle 15 degrees lateral to the patient’s line of vision . Shine the light beam on the pupil and look for the orange glow in the pupil—the red reflex . Note any opacities interrupting the red reflex.

Examiner at 15-degree angle frompatient’s line of vision, eliciting red reflex

Absence of a red reflex suggests an opacity of the lens (cataract) or possibly of the vitreous. Less commonly, a detached retina or, in children, a retinoblastoma may obscure this reflex. Do not be fooled by an artificial eye, which has no red reflex.

◗◗ Now, place the thumb of your other hand across the patient’s eyebrow. (This technique helps keep you steady but is not essential.) Keeping the light beam focused on the red reflex, move in with the ophthalmoscope on the 15-degree angle toward the pupil until you are very close to it, almost touching the patient’s eyelashes. Try to keep both eyes open and relaxed, as if gazing into the distance, to help minimize any fluctuating blurriness as your eyes attempt to accommodate. You may need to lower the brightness of the light beam to make the exami- nation more comfortable for the patient, avoid hippus (spasm of the pupil), and improve your observations. *Some clinicians like to use the large round beam for large pupils, and the small round beam for small pupils. The other beams are rarely helpful. The slitlike beam is sometimes used to assess elevations or concavities in the retina, the green (or red-free) beam to detect small red lesions, and the grid to make measurements. Ignore the last three lights and practice with the large or small round white beam.

Contents

• First published over a century ago, is the classic textbook on clinical skills • Provides a comprehensive account of the traditional methods of patient history-taking and examination but updated with a full account of the role of modern investigative techniques. • The text is organised so that both system-related and problem-oriented chapters are included. • Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of the doctor-patient relationship, the essential skills needed for clinical examination, and for planning the appropriate choice of investigations in diagnosis and management.

• A new introductory chapter emphasises the important principles in beginning a patient examination. • Two new chapters focus more precisely on the Skin and the Endocrine System, areas previously covered in the more general examination sections of the book. • A new chapter on the Examination of the Eye, previously incorporated into the examination of the neurological system. Two new chapters focus on specific situations: • Pre-operative Assessment looks at the examination required of a patient prior to sedation and anaesthesia. • Examination to confirm death. • The book now includes over 50 clinical examples in OSCE format, as used in final MB and MRCP (UK) PACES examinations, to help with revision. • Starts with a general overview section on history taking and the general examination that provide the framework on which to hang the detail.

• More than 200 new and revised photographs and drawings have been added to better illustrate key points • Revised design and layout increase discoverability of core material and special assessment tips • Reorganized “techniques of interviewing” chapter provides clearer insights into the skills of empathic listening • Each chapter has been reviewed and revised to align with new evidence from sources such as: Healthy People 2020, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention, and American Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Facts and Figures
