MPAS 519 Exam 1
Review
1. What are the peripheral etiologies of vertigo?: -BPPV
-Vestibular neuritis
-Meniere's disease
-Labyrinthitis
2. Portion of the HINTS exam where the pt fixes eyes on a target
while the clinician swivels the pt's head slowly and quickly: Head
Impulse
3. What are the steps of the Weber Test?: • Set a 512 Hz tuning fork in motion
• Place it on the patient
-Top of the head
-Middle of the forehead
-Nasal bone
-Front teeth
• Conducts sound via bone vibration in the skull to the ears
4. How are the tonsils graded?: • 1+: fills <25% of oropharynx between tonsillar pillars
• 2+: 25-50% (halfway between tonsils and uvula)
• 3+: 50-75% (nearly touching the uvula)
• 4+: >75% (touching each other - "kissing")
5. When do the frontal and maxillary sinuses develop?: -Maxillary: 4 y/o
-Frontal: 5-6 y/o
6. Reflex test where either side of the uvula is stroked
-Afferent CN V, efferent X: Palatal Reflex
7. What are the results of a Weber and Rinne test in a person with
mixed hearing loss?: -Weber: Lateralizes to unattected ear, away from attected ear
-Rinne: BC > AC in attected ear, AC > BC in unattected ear
8. Term for someone without teeth: Edentulous
9. A fungal infection of the external auditory canal commonly
caused by as- pergillus (dark coating) or candida (white coating):
Otomycosis
10. What is the result of the Rinne Test in someone with
sensorineural hearing loss?: Air conduction remains greater than bone conduction - AC
> BC

11. What is the result of the Rinne Test in someone with
conductive hearing loss?: Bone conduction is greater than air conduction - BC > AC
12. CN that is involved in palate rise and phonation (voice): CN X

13. What is different about completing an otoscopic
examination on children than adults?: Pull auricle down & back to view the
tympanic membrane
• Until age 3-4 years
14. What are the 3 parts of the HINTS Exam?: 1. Head-Impulse Test
2. Nystagmus Testing
3. Test of Skew
15. What is a normal result of a palatal reflex test?: The uvula should rise
and deviate in the direction that is was stroked
16. What are the central etiologies of vertigo?: • Stroke:
-Ischemic
-Hemorrhagic
• Demyelinating diseases (multiple sclerosis)
• Vestibular migraine
• Intracranial tumors
17. A quick, small eye movement that readjusts your gaze to a
visual target after an initial, inaccurate eye movement or a head
movement that shifts the visual field: Corrective Saccade
18. What are the results of a Weber and Rinne test in a person with
sensorineural hearing loss?: -Weber: Lateralizes to unattected ear, away from attected ear
-Rinne: Normal - AC > BC in both ears
19. What is the result of the Weber Test in someone with
sensorineural hearing loss?: Sound heard best in the "good"/unattected ear
-Sound lateralizes away from the side w/ sensorineural loss
20. Most common cutaneous cyst that is a skin-colored dermal
nodule with a visible central punctum
•Size ranges from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diamete
•Occurs anywhere on the body: Epidermoid (epidermal inclusion) Cyst
21. Test that differentiates between central and peripheral
causes of acute vestibular syndrome: HINTS Exam
22. What are the steps of the Rinne Test?: • Set a 512 Hz tuning fork in
motion
