Examination & Diagnosis

 hearing

 test mode

 

 

 

50. Physical exam and medical history: A general physical exam of the body's signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or other unusual things. Learn about the patient's health habits and past illnesses and treatments.

 

 

50. Otoral examination: An examination of the ear. The otoscope is used to examine the ear canal and eardrum for signs of infection or hearing loss. Sometimes, the otoscope has a plastic bulb that releases a small amount of air into the ear canal when squeezed. In healthy ears, the eardrum moves. If there is fluid behind the eardrum, it will not move.

 

 

50. Hearing tests can be conducted in various ways based on the child's age. The purpose of these tests is to check whether the child can hear soft and loud sounds, as well as low and high frequencies. Each ear is tested separately. The child may also be asked if they can hear the sound of a tuning fork when it is placed behind or on the forehead.

 

 

Talk to your child's doctor about whether your child needs a test and an examination to check for hearing problems. If a test is needed, find out how often it will be done.

 

 vision

 test mode

 

 

50. Dilated eye examination: This is an eye examination where the pupils are dilated using eye drops to allow the doctor to examine the retina through the lens and pupil. The inside of the eye, including the retina and optic nerve, is examined using a device that produces a narrow beam of light. This procedure is also known as slit-lamp examination. If a tumor is detected, the doctor may take follow-up images over time to monitor changes in the tumor's size and growth rate.

 

 

50. Indirect fundus examination: an examination of the back of the eye with a small magnifying glass and light.

 

 

        Talk to your child's doctor about whether your child needs a check-up and signs of eye and vision problems. If a check-up is needed, find out how often it will be done.

 

Clinical Management

 hearing

 therapeutic tool

 

 

 

        Radiation therapy to the brain and certain types of chemotherapy can increase the risk of hearing loss.

 

 

 

50. Certain types of chemotherapy, such as cisplatin or high-dose carboplatin;
50. Radiation therapy to the brain.

 

 vision

 therapeutic tool

 

 

 

 

50. Radiation therapy to the brain, eye or orbit;
50. Surgery to remove a tumor near the eye or optic nerve;
50. Certain types of chemotherapy as part of stem cell transplantation, such as adenosine arabinoside and doxorubicin or busulfan and corticosteroids;
50. Whole body irradiation (TBI) as part of stem cell transplantation;
50. History of stem cell transplantation (and chronic graft-versus-host disease).
