Examination of the head and neck is a fundamental part of the standard physical examination[1]. It is typically one of the first parts of the physical examination[2] and is performed with the patient in a seated position. Because the complete head and neck examination[3] is lengthy, it is usually tailored to the patients history and presenting complaint. In adult patients, the parts of the examination dealing with the ears[4] and nose are generally not required unless there is a pertinent complaint.
