What are the reflexes that are more common in HENT?
Viscero-viscero reflexes
Optic nerve goes through what foramen?

Hypoglossal canal
X goes through what foramen?
Jugular foramen
XI goes through what foramen?
Jugular foramen
III goes through what foramen?
Superior orbital fissues
What are the CNs that run through the jugular foramen?
IX, X, and XI
V1 goes through what foramen?
Superior orbital fissure
IV goes through what foramen?
Superior orbital fissure

Why do we need to know foramina for CNs?
CNs depart through the skull through foramen, which may be important if there is an abnormal growth of the foramen, or a disturbance in the bone
Why is it important that the nerves that leave the head are covered in pia mater?
Any dysfunction of the dura may lead to a dysfunction of the nerves
What is the difference between a stroke and bell’s palsy?
No forehead wrinkling with Bell’s palsy
What are the s/sx of trigeminal neuralgia?
HA in the region of the eyebrows, sinuses, cheek
Taste from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue is mediated via which CN?
IX
What is the treatment for children with colic?

What happens to lymphatic drainage with SNS?
Decreased drainage
What are the s/sx of increased SNS in the head?
- Tinnitus
- HA
- Dilation of the pupils
What are the ophthalmologic problems that can occur with SNS overstimulation in the head?
- Dilation of the pupils
- Cataracts
What happens to the thyroid with increased SNS?
Increased secretions
Long term upper thoracic and cervical dysfunction with increased SNS is implicated in cataracts 2/2 what?

What are the PNS effects on CN X? (2)
- Heart
- Guts to 2/3 along transverse colon
Increased PNS causes what to secretions?
Thinning
What is ganglion that CN VII runs through?
Sphenopalatine (pterygopalatine) ganglia
What is sphenopalatine syndrome?
Redness/engorgement of the mucus membranes, tearing + retro orbital pain
