Section 1: HEENT, Ocular & Head Disorders (Questions 1–15)
,1. A 42-year-old male presents with acute onset of severe left eye pain, photophobia,
blurred vision, and halo perception around lights. Examination shows a cloudy
cornea, mid-dilated non-reactive pupil, and ciliary flush. Tonometry reveals an
intraocular pressure (IOP) of 48 mmHg. What is the immediate first-line medical
intervention?
A. Topical Timolol 0.5%, Pilocarpine 2%, and oral Acetazolamide
B. Immediate administration of broad-spectrum topical fluoroquinolones
C. Emergent warm compresses and oral amoxicillin-clavulanate
D. Reassurance and systemic NSAID therapy
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The patient presents with acute angle-closure glaucoma (emergency).
Initial management aims to drop IOP rapidly using topical beta-blockers (Timolol),
miotics (Pilocarpine), and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (Acetazolamide) while
arranging emergent ophthalmology consultation.
2. A 28-year-old female presents with bilateral burning eye discomfort, gritty
sensation, and crusted eyelashes upon awakening. On physical exam, the eyelid
margins are erythematous and thickened with flaking scales adherent to the lash
bases. What is the primary initial treatment strategy?
, A. Daily eyelid hygiene with warm compresses and diluted baby shampoo scrub
B. Systemic oral corticosteroids for 14 days
C. Topical corticosteroid drops four times daily
D. Oral doxycycline twice daily for 6 months
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Anterior blepharitis is managed primarily with non-pharmacological eyelid
hygiene (warm compresses to liquefy meibomian secretions and eyelid scrubs to
remove crusting/debris). Antibiotics or topical steroids are reserved for refractory
cases.
3. A 6-year-old child presents with a 2-day history of purulent discharge from the
right eye, conjunctival injection, and matted eyelids upon waking. There is no
photophobia or visual change. Fluorescein staining is negative. What topical
antimicrobial is recommended for acute bacterial conjunctivitis?
A. Erythromycin 0.5% ophthalmic ointment or Trimethoprim-Polymyxin B drops
B. Topical tobramycin-dexamethasone combination drops
C. Oral azithromycin single dose
D. Topical acyclovir ophthalmic ointment
Correct Answer: A
, Rationale: Uncomplicated acute bacterial conjunctivitis in non-contact lens wearers
is treated empirically with topical erythromycin ointment or polymyxin B/trimethoprim
drops. Contact lens wearers require fluoroquinolone coverage against
Pseudomonas.
4. A 34-year-old female presents with acute severe vertigo, nausea, and vomiting
lasting for 3 days following a viral upper respiratory infection. She reports no hearing
loss or tinnitus. Neurological exam is unremarkable except for spontaneous
horizontal nystagmus. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Vestibular Neuritis
B. Meniere Disease
C. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
D. Acoustic Neuroma
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vestibular neuritis causes prolonged, acute continuous vertigo following
a viral illness without auditory symptoms. Meniere disease presents with hearing loss
and tinnitus; BPPV causes brief positional episodes; acoustic neuroma presents with
progressive unilateral hearing loss.
