A

CN XI

21
Q

What muscles are innervated by CN XI?

A

Sternocleidoimastoid

Trapezius

22
Q

Which nerve provides motor innervation of the tongue?

A

CN XII

23
Q

Bilateral loss of smelling is usually associated with deficits in what other sensory function?

A

Taste

24
Q

How can CNI be tested?

A

Ask about recent changes in smelling

test patients ability to smell substance such as coffee or cinnamon in each nostril

25
Q

How can CNII be tested?

A

By wiggling a finger in each of the four quadrants of vision and getting the patient to tell you which finger you are wiggling

26
Q

How can CN III, IV and VI be tested?

A

ask patient to follow your finger as you move it in a ‘H’ position through the four quadrants
then ask patient to keep head still and move eyes up, down, left and right
check for doll’s eye

27
Q

How can CN V be tested?

A

Normal sensory testing using light touch and pin prick on forehead, cheeks bone and chin on both sides
Get the patient to clench neither teeth and palpate the masters

28
Q

How can CN VII be tested?

A

Ask patient to Elevate eyebrows, close eyes tightly and resist you opening them, blow out their cheeks with air, purse lips tightly together, smile

29
Q

In which hearing test is a vibrating tuning fork placed on the mastoid process to test bone conduction and then compared with air conduction with tuning fork placed near to the ear?

A

Rhinne’s test

30
Q

Air conductance should be louder than bone conductance. In what type of hearing loss will the opposite be true?

A

Conductive hearing loss

31
Q

In Weber’s test a vibrating tuning fork is placed at the midline over the vertex and the patient is asked whether or not the sound is perceived equally in both ears. Sound will be heard louder in the affected ear in what type of deafness?

A

Conductive deafness

32
Q

In Weber’s test a vibrating tuning fork is placed at the midline over the vertex and the patient is asked whether or not the sound is perceived equally in both ears. Sound will be heard louder in the unaffected ear in what type of deafness?

A

Perceptive deafness

33
Q

Which reflex is tested to investigate CN IX?

A

The gag reflex

34
Q

How is CN X tested?

A

Ask the patient to speak and to cough

35
Q

How is CN XI tested?

A

Ask patient to shrug their shoulders first without then with resistance - tests trapezius
ask patient to rotate their head to the contralateral side against the resistant of your hand - tests sternocleidomastoid

36
Q

Which cranial nerve are you testing by asking the patient to stick out their tongue and wiggle it from side to side?

A

CN XII

37
Q

Which nerve provides somatosensory innervation to the nasal cavity?

A

Trigeminal nerve

38
Q

which intrinsic eye muscles are innervated by the oculomotor nerve?

A

Sphincter pupillae

Ciliary muscle

39
Q

Where do CN III, IV and VI enter the orbit?

A

Superior orbital fissure

40
Q

Which cranial nerves are involved in the corneal reflex?

A 
Trigeminal nerve (ophthalmic division) - sensory afferent
facial nerve to orbicularis occult - motor efferent
41
Q

Which nerves are involved in the gag reflex?

A

Afferent - glossopharyngeal nerve

Efferent - vagus nerve

42
Q

Shingles is caused by reactivate of which virus?

A

Varicella-zoster virus

43
Q

Loss of function of CN 9, 10 and 11 can be cause by anything which compresses the jugular foramen. What is the most common cause of this?

A

Paraganglioma

44
Q

CSF contains glucose. T/F?

A

True

45
Q

The level of what substance can be checked to test whether a clear fluid from the nose is CSF as this substance is only present in CSF?

A

Beta-2-transferrin

46
Q

Medical causes of CN III palsy such as diabetes mellitus will often spare the pupil. T/F?

A

True - whereas ‘surgical’ causes such as nerve lesion will present with dilated pupil
