Cranial Nerve Flashcards
Lesion to this nerve causes ansomia
I-Olfactory
List three optic nerve lesions and explain.
- Glaucoma-peripheral vision loss
- Optic neuritis-inflammation of optic nerve (MS)
- Optic nerve atrophy- damage to optic nerve due to poor blood flow to the eye, disease, trauma, or exposure to toxins
A patient is unable to open their eye due to inability to raise their eyelid. What is the cause of this? What is this condition called?
Damage to CN III
Ptosis
Completely closed eyelid and deviation of eye outward and downward. What type of palsy is this? What muscles are impaired?
CN III Palsy “Down and Out”
medial rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique
What type of palsy results in patient tilting their head towards the unaffected side to compensate for lack of medial rotation? What muscle is paralized?
CN IV Palsy “Up and Out”
Superior oblique (depression, abduction, and medial rotation are not present)
Results in the inability to turn eye outward. Which muscle is effected?
CN VI Palsy “Adducted”
Lateral rectus
What part of facial movement will be loss if only cranial nerve is involved?
Upper and lower face
What part of facial movement will be loss if a stroke is present
Lower face
