TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - The Head and Neck A1 - Suneja, Manish A1 - Szot, Joseph F. A1 - LeBlond, Richard F. A1 - Brown, Donald D. PY - 2020 T2 - DeGowin’s Diagnostic Examination, 11e AB - This chapter discusses symptoms, signs, and syndromes related to the head and neck; trauma is not covered. At least nine specialties focus on the head and neck, each developing detailed exams often utilizing specialized instruments. The exams described here are made with resources available to the general clinician. Symptoms, signs, and syndromes primarily of neurologic significance are discussed in Chapter 14. By necessity, these distinctions are somewhat arbitrary. During the head and neck examination the examiner identifies significant abnormalities and identifies signs of systemic disease. As always, knowing the limits of one’s expertize and the indications for specialty referral are imperative.
