Ent Points

This document lists various topics related to ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat). Some key points include: 1. The caloric test is best for testing vestibular function. Audiometry is used to detect hearing thresholds. 2. The maxillary sinus is the most common site of antrochoanal polyps in children and maxillary carcinoma in adults. 3. Common causes of nasal obstruction include deviated nasal septum from birth trauma, foreign bodies, and crusting from atrophic rhinitis. 4. Common complications of unsafe chronic suppurative otitis media include meningitis and conductive deafness.
