1Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Abstract:
A 17-year-old boy who lost consciousness during wrestling matches was found to have carotid sinus syndrome.

Herein we discuss possible implications of this finding for the assessment of syncope in pediatric patients.

Nose, Sinuses, Oral Cavity and Pharynx Exam
This video provides an overview of sinus, nose, and throat examinations. The demonstration begins with a brief overview of the anatomy of the region. The upper third of the nose is bony, and the bottom two-thirds are cartilaginous. Air entering the nares passes through the nasal vestibules and into the narrow passageway between the nasal septum...
