Q

what are the four general reasons for a cranial nerve abnormality?

A

1) specific lesions to the nerve
2) lesion in the nucleus
3) lesion in a communicating pathways to and from the cortex, diencephalon (thalamus and associated structures), cerebellum or other parts of the brain stem
4) generalized problems of nerve or muscle

Q

when might a lesion affect multiple cranial nerves?

A

1) if the lesion is where several cranial nerves run together either in the brain stem or within the skull
2) when they are affected by a generalized disorder (Myasthenia Gravis)
3) following multiple lesions ( multiple sclerosis, cerebral vascular disease)
