Q

How would you differentiate papilledema vs optic neuritis?

A

In papilledema: NO VISUAL complaint/loss

Optic neuritis: inflammation of nerve causes visual complaint/loss
-early and quick!

Q

CN 3,4,6 exam process

A
  • inspection
  • accommodation (3)
  • corneal light reflex (3,4,6)
  • pupillary light reflex (2,3)
  • 6 cardinal fields of gaze (3,4,6)
18
Q

MC causes of unilateral and bilateral ptosis

A

Unilateral: horners syndrome, pancos tumor, stroke, Bell’s palsy, TIA, stroke, cluster HA/migrane

Bilateral: MG

19
Q

What CN does accommodation test

A

3

20
Q

What 3 things should occur during accommodation test

A 
Convergence (medial recti)
Pupilloconstruction (parasympathetic fibers)
Lens thickening (ciliary muscle-unnoticeable—allows focus)
21
Q

CN tested during corneal light reflex

A

3,4,6

22
Q

Process in corneal light reflex test

A

Patient focus on distant object and shine lights t nasal bridge (12 inches)

Eye should reflect symmetrically

23
Q

CN tested with pupillary light reflex

A

CN 2,3

24
Q

CN tested with cardinal fields of gaze

A

3,4,6

25
Q

Explain each muscle tested in each eye during cardinal fields of gaze

A

See picture on slide 68

26
Q

CN 3 abnormals

A

Ptosis
Mydriasis (pupil dilation)
Eye deviated down and out

27

MC cause of CN 3 abnormals

A

Ischemia and aneurysm

28
Q

What CN is affected during: ptosis

A

CN 3

29
Q

What CN is affected during: mydriasis

A

CN3

30
Q

What CN is affected during: eye deviation down and out

A

CN3

31
Q

Abnormals with CN 4

A
  • difficulty looking down and in

- patient commonly tilts head to opposite shoulder (minimize diplopia)

32
Q

MC cause of damage to CN 4

A

Head trauma

Q

What CN is affected during: difficulty looking down and in

A

CN4

34
Q

What CN is affected during: when patient tilts head to R shoulder

A

L CN4

35
Q

Abnormals with CN 6

A
  • eye deviates medically

- difficult looking laterally

36
Q

CN6 damage usually caused by

A

Neoplasms
Trauma
Microvascular neuropathy
MC etiologies

37
Q

What CN is affected during: deviation of eye medically

A

6

38
Q

What CN is affected during: issues looking laterally

A

6

39
Q

Nystagmus

A

Involuntary eye oscillations

-may occur side/side, up/down, or circular

40
Q

Nystagmus that is fast and represents saccadic movement. Lobe?

A

Frontal

41
Q

Nystagmus slow represents following movement. Lobe?

A

Occipital

42
Q

Where is nystagmus common that is not pathological

A

“End point”
