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.
