20 The special senses Questions Question 1 Does central vertigo decrease with time? Question 2 Are vestibular sedatives such as betahistine indicated in the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo? Question 3 Does the absence of nystagmus in Hallpike’s manoeuvre exclude benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), even in the presence of a typical clinical picture and an absence of other possibilities? Does wearing Frenzel’s goggles increase sensitivity? Question 4 With Ménière’s disease, what steps should be taken: 1. In acute attacks? 2. Before an attack starts? Question 5 I want to ask about the proven medicine for tinnitus in UK. Question 6 Why do patients with Goldenhar’s syndrome experience speech delay, despite the fact that they might be able to use their unaffected ear to listen with?

Question 13 How can one differentiate between papilloedema and a tilted disc on fundus examination? Question 14 On fundus examination, does the preservation of the disc cup (no obliteration) despite nasal blurring of the edges of the cup mean an absence of papilloedema? Question 15 What findings should be looked for during routine fundus examination in patients on long-term chloroquine or other anti-malarial therapy for treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)? Question 16 Which diseases are commonly associated with a macular star on ophthalmoscopic examination? Question 17 Can a cataract in one eye produce an afferent pupillary defect in that eye? Question 18 What is meant by copper and silver wiring of retinal vessels on ophthalmoscopy, what do they look like and which of them signifies atherosclerosis? Question 19 What is the mechanism of papilloedema? Is it that the intracranial pressure exceeds the pressure of the central retinal vein? Only gold members can continue reading.
