A HEENT examination is a portion of a physical examination that principally concerns the head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat.

Steps

  • IPPA
    • Inspection of scars or skin changes
    • Palpation of temporomandibular joint, thyroid, and lymph nodes
    • Percussion may involve the skin above the frontal sinuses and paranasal sinuses to detect any signs of pain
    • Auscultation for carotid bruits
  • Tests specific to HEENT examination
    • Eyes: eye examination and acuity (including ophthalmoscope)
    • Ears: hearing examination and evaluation of tympanic membrane (otoscope used in evaluation of ears, nose, and mouth)

A neurological examination is usually considered separate from the HEENT evaluation, although there can be some overlap in some cases.
