*Know what causes saddle numbness and urinary retention (pg. 678?)
• CES (cauda equina syndrome) most commonly results from a massive herniated disc in
the lumbar region.
• A single excessive strain or injury may cause a herniated disc.
,• However, disc material degenerates naturally as a person ages, and the ligaments that hold
it in place begin to weaken. As this degeneration progresses, a relatively minor strain or
twisting movement can cause a disc to rupture.
, The following are other potential causes of CES:
• Spinal lesions and tumors
• Spinal infections or inflammation
• Lumbar spinal stenosis
• Violent injuries to the lower back (gunshots, falls, auto accidents)
• Birth abnormalities
• Spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
• Spinal hemorrhages (subarachnoid, subdural, epidural)
• Postoperative lumbar spine surgery complications
• Spinal anesthesia

• Cranial nerve VI: abducens
Know what should be listed under adult illnesses in health history (pg. 10)
• Medical illnesses: such as diabetes, hypertension, hepatitis, asthma, and HIV. Also

• Surgical: dates, indications, and types of operations
• Obstetric/Gynecologic: obstetric history, menstrual history, methods of
contraception, and sexual function
• Psychiatric: illness and timeframe, diagnoses, hospitalizations, and treatments
Know what conditions do not have red reflexes (p. 239)
• Absence of red reflex suggests an opacity of the lens (cataract), or possibly the vitreous
(or even an artificial eye).
• Less commonly, a detached retina, or in children a retinoblastoma may obscure
this reflex.
Know the signs of seasonal allergies (p. 27)
• itching, watery eyes, sneezing, ear congestion, postnasal drainage
