    AbstractMost otolaryngology-related complaints are straightforward and easily recognized and treated. However, given the proximity of the ears, nose, and throat to numerous vital structures in the head and neck, the potential for serious consequences exists if disease processes go unrecognized and untreated. This article serves to familiarize the primary care provider with the clinical presentation of various complications associated with common otolaryngologic complaints. Clinicians who care for patients presenting with otolaryngologic complaints should keep these entities in mind and attempt to rule out any serious complication.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
