Abstract

Physical diagnosis is considered to be a cornerstone in clinical medicine. Examination of the ears is frequently forgotten although, in many clinical situations, it may help: in gout (tophi), lupus, congenital anomalies, trauma and in local malignancies. We may add another physical-acquired sign: the Frank's sign in which a diagonal notch in the ear lobe is found in patients with coronary heart disease.
