Note: All derivatives of the 1st pharyngeal arch

36

37
Q

A

The mesencephalic nucleus of CN V

Why? Bc it’s wanting to interpret proprioception hence NOT in chief sensory

38
Q

What is the course of the CN VII?

A

The motor root of CN VII (to the muscles of facial expression) emerges (with the nervus intermedius) in the angle between the lower pons & the cerebellum (known as cerebellopontine angle)
CN VII with the nervus intermedius enters the petrous temporal bone at the internal acoustic meatus with CN VIII & the labyrinthine artery
CN VII with the nervus intermedius takes a tortuous course through the middle ear while giving off taste & parasympathetic branches
CN VII sends a branch to stapedius (the muscle that dampens the movement of stapes) before emerging from the stylomastoid foramen to supply (mainly) the muscles of facial expression
CN VII emerges from the stylomastoid foramen & sends branches to supply the occipitalis & auricular muscles before dividing to form a plexus within the parotid gland (superficial to the external carotid artery & retromandibular vein) that sends branches to the muscles of facial expression (plus the digastric & stylohyoid)

39
Q

What is hyperacusis?

A

When hearing is amplified

40
Q

Why is the passage of the CN VII through the internal acoustic meatus risky?

A

CN VII is at risk of compression at this site & such proximal injury will affect the muscles of facial expression & stapedius causing hyperacusis

41
Q

What is the role of stapedius?

A

Muscle that dampens the movement of stapes

42
Q

Where are the cell bodies for taste fibres found?

A

In the geniculate ganglion

45
Q

What is the cortical control of facial nerve nuclei?

A

LMN lesions e.g. Bell’s palsy:
Weakness or paralysis of whole ipsilateral half

47
Q

Clinical sign of CN VII injury distal to stylomastoid foramen?

A

Ipsilateral facial muscle paralysis

48
Q

If injury to CN VII is within the petrous temporal bone or proximal to it (e.g. Bell’s palsy & acoustic neuroma), what is the presentation?

A

If injury is within the petrous temporal bone or proximal to it (e.g. Bell’s palsy & acoustic neuroma) then there is: Ipsilateral facial muscle paralysis
Hyperacusis
Taste disturbances (there may also be an effect on the adjacent CN VIII)

49
Q

The ________ ______ branch of CN VII dips inferior to the mandible overlying the submandibular gland & consequently it is at risk during surgery on this gland
The lower lip muscles may be paralysed causing saliva to dribble from the mouth

A

The marginal mandibular branch of CN VII dips inferior to the mandible overlying the submandibular gland & consequently it is at risk during surgery on this gland
The lower lip muscles may be paralysed causing saliva to dribble from the mouth

50
Q

In the corneal reflex, what nerve and nuclei is involved?

A

Afferent CN V1 (nasociliary nerve)
