Tis is also known as adenosis of pregnancy, and the diference between this and the very common fbrocystic disease of the breast, which is unrelated Box 1 Differential diagnosis of breast to pregnancy, is blurred. The breast undergoes huge lumps in pregnancy proliferation in pregnancy, and many women may note one particular area to be more thickened than Physiological the rest, an asymmetrical swelling, or an actual Prominent breast lobule well-defned lump, such that imaging and biopsy Montgomery’s tubercle may be contemplated.

Head position and movement in space are first de- tected by the vestibular end organs in the periphery (three semicircular canals, the utricle, and saccule) where vestibular hair cells transform mechanical stimuli into neuronal signals. These signals are carried along the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve eight) to the brain stem. This information is then integrated and distributed to complex pathways in the central nervous system, ultimately resulting in vestibular re- flexes that control posture, balance, and eye movements. A complete vestibular exam should in- clude the following: opticokinetic exam (including nystagmus, head-shake, head- thrust, saccades, and smooth pursuit), cranial nerve exam, cerebellar testing, gait evaluation, Fakuda and Romberg testing, general motor and sensory evaluation, pneu- matic otoscopic and tuning-fork exam, and Dix-Hallpike or positional testing.
