Overview
Dizziness, headache, facial pain, hearing loss, swallowing problems and Bell’s palsy are among the most common complaints seen in the primary care clinical setting. These complaints are also fundamental to the specialties of otolaryngology and neurology.  The purpose of this symposium is to impart an algorithmic approach to understanding the differential diagnosis of some of the common and uncommon pathologies that may be found in these patients.  The diagnostic imperative in each category will be underscored by selected case presentations and panel discussion

Objectives
  1. Describe some of the common and less common causes of dizziness in day to day practice
  2. Explain the origins of speech and swallowing difficulties in a patient population with Parkinson’s Disease as well as other of the more common neuromuscular disorders.
  3. Evaluate lesions found by otolaryngological evaluation and imaging that cause headache with a particular emphasis on how to distinguish these entities from the more common causes such as tension headache
  4. Compare the newest technologies for implantable auditory devices.
  5. Assess the protocol for surgical treatment options for Bell’s Palsy and evaluate the role and benefits of electrophysiological testing in facial nerve paralysis.

Accreditation
The Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
