Iran ENT Specialty Board study guide
Iran ENT Specialty Board · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Iran ENT Specialty Board examination is the national assessment through which physicians who have completed an otorhinolaryngology residency in Iran demonstrate the knowledge and clinical judgement required for specialty certification. It is intended for graduating residents and for specialists preparing to sit the board, and it is relevant to anyone whose training or practice falls under the Iranian board structure for گوش، حلق و بینی. The Iran ENT Specialty Board study guide has 10 sections and about 2,967 words.
01Otology and Neurotology: Middle Ear, Vertigo, and Facial Nerve Reasoning
Otology and neurotology questions test middle-ear mechanics, chronic otitis media and cholesteatoma, vestibular disorders, facial nerve localization, and implantable hearing devices. The board favors clinical reasoning over eponyms: connect a finding such as a perforation, air-bone gap, or nystagmus to a diagnosis and the next step.
352 words, about 2 min02Rhinology and Sinus Surgery: Phenotype, Anatomy, and Safe FESS
Rhinology and sinus surgery tests chronic rhinosinusitis phenotyping, nasal obstruction, epistaxis, sinonasal anatomy, and complication avoidance in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Questions usually ask for the next best step rather than a complete list of options.
332 words, about 2 min03Laryngology and Voice: Stroboscopy, Lesions, and Red Flags
Laryngology and voice disorders tests dysphonia evaluation, videostroboscopy, benign mucosal lesions, laryngeal malignancy, and airway decision-making. The board expects you to separate behavioral, inflammatory, structural, and neurologic causes before recommending surgery.
294 words, about 1 min04Head and Neck Oncology: Staging, Neck Levels, and Treatment Sequence
Head and neck surgery and oncology tests TNM staging, neck dissection levels, oral cavity and laryngeal cancer, salivary and thyroid tumors, and multidisciplinary sequencing. The exam emphasizes what to do first and which findings change prognosis.
317 words, about 2 min05Pediatric Otolaryngology: Ear, Airway, and Neck Mass Decisions
Pediatric otorhinolaryngology tests acute otitis media, otitis media with effusion, tonsillectomy criteria, obstructive sleep apnea, stridor, foreign bodies, and congenital neck masses. Management differs from adults because observation and hearing development drive decisions.
313 words, about 2 min06Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Rhinoplasty, Trauma, and Reconstruction
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery tests nasal analysis and rhinoplasty, facial fracture management, local flaps, skin cancer reconstruction, and facial nerve anatomy. The exam favors functional and aesthetic diagnosis before operative planning.
277 words, about 1 min07Skull Base Surgery: Endoscopic and Lateral Approaches
Skull base surgery tests anterior and lateral skull base anatomy, endoscopic endonasal approaches, cerebrospinal fluid leak, pituitary tumors, vestibular schwannoma, and complication management. The board expects safe corridor selection and recognition of endocrine and vascular emergencies.
274 words, about 1 min08Allergy and Immunology in ENT: Rhinitis, Testing, and Immunotherapy
Allergy and immunology in ENT tests allergic rhinitis diagnosis, skin prick and specific IgE testing, pharmacotherapy, immunotherapy, drug allergy, and warning signs of immunodeficiency. Allergic rhinitis is IgE-mediated and causes sneezing, clear rhinorrhea, itching, and nasal obstruction.
265 words, about 1 min09Audiology and Vestibular Medicine: Test Interpretation
Audiology and vestibular medicine tests pure-tone audiometry, tympanometry, acoustic reflexes, auditory brainstem response, otoacoustic emissions, vestibular testing, and hearing rehabilitation. The board expects you to interpret patterns and identify urgent asymmetry.
267 words, about 1 min10Basic Sciences for ENT: Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology
Basic sciences questions test temporal bone anatomy, laryngeal innervation, sinus drainage, cochlear and vestibular physiology, pathology, and pharmacology relevant to ENT practice. These facts support clinical decisions across all domains.
