0 - Clinical Examples Flashcards
Paralysis of Orbicularis Oculi
Unable to close eye, damage to cornea
Sagging of face can also accompany
**Bell’s Palsy
CN VII
Paralysis of all facial muscles on one side
- Facial paralysis
- Drooling (Buccinator)
- Inability to close eye (Orbicularis)
- Loss of taste to ant. tongue
- Pain in/behind ear (V, VII, IX, X)
- Hyperacousia - paralyze Stapedius
Paralysis of Buccinator Muscle
CN VII
Facial paralysis can paralyze buccinator
Difficulty in chewing food; paralyze unable to hold food between teeth
Paralysis of Stapedius Muscle
Damage to VII
Hyperacousia - sounds seem too loud
Stapedius dampens sound
Innervation of Outer Ear?
Effect on Bell’s Palsy Patients?
Almost all sensory to face is V1, V2, V3; but external ear is also: CN VII, IX, X
Somatic Sensory - Acute Pain and Earaches
Clinical Issues with Venous Drainage of Face
Facial Veins have few or no valves
To Ophthalmic Veins: Supraorbital V., Supratrochlear V.
To Facial Vein: Straight course anastomose with branches of Ophthalmic V.
ANASTOMOSES SPREAD INFECTION
Clinical: Infection can spread into the cranial cavity (cavernous sinus) and can result in DIPLOPIA; infections lateral to nose dangerous
Cleft Lip
Failure of fusion of Medial Nasal Process and Maxillary Process
At philtrum of lip
Parasympathetics in Cranial Nerves
CN III - Ciliary Ganglion - Sphincter Pupillae M. (constrictor), Ciliary M.
CN VII - Pterygopalatine Ganglion - Lacrimal Gland, Mucous Glands of oral, nasal cavities, palate
CN VII - Submandibular Ganglion - Submandibular Gland, Sublingual Gland
CN IX - Otic Ganglion - Parotid Gland
Clinical zygomatic fractures of skull?
- Zygomatic Bone
- Maxillary Bone - Zygomatic Process
- Temporal Bone - Zygomatic Process
Clinical Relevance for Scalp?
Layers?
Infections can readily spread through loose areaolar layer deep to epicanial aponeurosis
Allows movement of skin on face
- - -
- Skin
- Connective Tissue
- Epicranial Aponeurosis
- Loose Areolar Tissue
- Periosteum
Orbit - Foramina
Contents of Ant. and Post. Ethmoidal Foramina?
Opening for what duct?
***What can orbit tumors affect?***
Ant. and Post. Ethmoidal Foramina (two openings in eye socket)
Contents: Ant. and Post. Ethmoidal N., A. , and V. (V1 and Opthalmic A., V.)
Opening of nasolacrimal duct
***Orbit tumors can affect nasal cavity***
Clinical: Obstructed Duct
Failure of duct to canalize, tears will flow onto face.
Opened surgically to drain to nasal cavity
Obstruction of Sebaceous Gland in Subcutaneous Layer of eyelid?
Obstruction of Tarsal Gland of eyelid?
What controls open / close of eyelid?
Obstruction of Sebaceous Gland = Stye
Obstruction of Tarsal Gland = Chalazion
Close = CN 7
Open = CN 3 / Sympathetics
Drainage of Tears
Innervation?
Lacrimal Gland is Innervated by parasympathetics CN VII, Pterygopalatine Ganglion
Accommodation of Lens in Eye
Thicken lens for near vision (viewing object close up)
Parasympathetic Control - CN III (Short Ciliary Nerves)
When these contract, ligaments relax and lens becomes thicker
Smooth Muscles of the Eye: Constriction / Dilation
Constrictor - Circular Smooth - Parasympathetics
Dilator - Radial Smooth - Sympathetics
Draw the eye movements diagram.
Abducens (VI) Damage
At rest: Medial Strabismus (cross-eyed) due to damage, paralyze lateral rectus
Trochlear Nerve Damage (IV)
Inability to turn eye down and out
Difficulty walking stairs
Head tilt (to opposite side) to level eye
Oculomotor (III) Nerve Damage
At rest:
- Lateral Strabismus (wall-eyed) due to paralyze medial rectus
- Ptosis - Drooping eyelid (paralyze Levator Palpebrae Superioris)
- Dilated Pupil (mydriasis) paralyze pupillary constrictor
