24
Q

What does CN 12 innervate?

A

25
Q

How is CN 1 tested?

A

Asking patient if they have noticed any change in their sense of smell
If test done, each nostril in turn

26
Q

How is CN 2 tested?

A
  • Visual acuity
  • Visual fields
  • Pupillary reflexes
  • Fundoscopy
27
Q

What pupillary reflexes should be tested?

A

Direct and consensual responses to lift, then accommodation

28
Q

How should CN 3, 4, and 6 be tested?

A

Ask child to fix and follow on an object (light from pen torch is best in children)

29
Q

How should the motor component of CN 5 be tested?

A
  • Ask child to open their mouth whilst you try and close it

- Clench teeth together and feel muscle mass of masseters

30
Q

What will be found when you ask the child to open their mouth whilst you try to close in if there is a CN 5 lesion?

A

It will deviate to the side of weakness

31
Q

What divisions provide the sensory functions of CN 5?

A
  • Opthalmic
  • Maxillary
  • Mandibular
32
Q

How should you assess the sensory functions of CN 5?

A

Test each division and compare both sides

33
Q

Should you test the corneal reflex?

A

No

34
Q

How should you assess the motor component of the CN 7?

A

Ask child to close their eyes tightly, open their eyes really wide, blow out their cheeks, and show their teeth

35
Q

How should you assess CN 8?

A

Rinne’s and Weber’s test

36
Q

How should you assess CN 9 and 10?

A

Ask child to open their mouth and say ‘ahh’ whilst looking at palatal movement

37
Q

How should you assess CN 11?

A

Ask the child to shrug their shoulders, turn their head to the right, and place a hand on the left side of their face and ask to push against your hand

38
Q

How should you assess CN 12?

A

Ask the child to stick out their tongue and inspect for fasciculation and deviation

39
Q

What will be found on examination if there is a lesion of CN 12?
