well localized pain
peripheral
diffuse pain
central
pain that’s there less than 25% of the time
intermittent
pain that’s there 25-50% of the time
occasional
pain that’s there 50-75% of the time
frequent
pain that’s there 75-100% of the time
constant
radiating, sharp, stabbing, well demarcated pain
dermatome pain
pain referral within muscular or fascial tissue
myogenous pain
dull, achy, diffuse pinpoint pain
scleratogenous pain
muscle strength that’s graded 0
no muscle contraction
muscle strength that’s graded 1
0-10% of normal movement
muscle strength that’s graded 2
11-25% of normal movement
muscle strength that’s graded 3
26-50% of normal movement

51-75% of normal movement
muscle strength that’s graded 5
76-100% of normal movement
cranial nerve fibers arise bilaterally from
the precentral gyrus of the cerebral motor cortex
cranial nerve fibers descend along
the corticobulbar tract of the brain
movements that are mainly unilateral receive innervations from this hemisphere
the contralateral hemisphere
the cranial nerves that have motor function take their origin from
cells deep within the brain stem
the sensory cranial nerves originate from
cells outside the brain stem
unilateral abnormalities of CN V, VII, and VIII =
cerebellopontine angle lesion
unilateral abnormalities of CN III, IV, V and VI =
cavernous sinus lesion
combined unilateral abnormalities of CN IX, X, and XI =
jugular foramen syndrome
combined bilateral abnormalities of CN X, XI, and XII if lower motor neuron =
bulbar palsy
combined bilateral abnormalities of CN X, XI, and XII if upper motor neuron =
pseudobulbar palsy
most common cause of intrinsic brain stem lesion in a younger patient
multiple sclerosis
most common cause of intrinsic brain stem lesion in an older patient
vascular disease
edinger-westphal nucleus at the level of
superior colliculus
nucleus of trochlear nerve in mid brain at level of
inferior colliculus
motor nucleus of trigeminal nerve at level of
mid pons
nucleus of abducens nerve in
dorsal pons
motor nucleus of facial nerve near
near caudal border of pons
nucleus salivatorius superior and inferior at border of
pons and medulla
dorsal motor nucleus of vagus nerve in
dorsal medulla
nucleus ambiguous located in
dorsal medulla
nucleus of hypoglossal nerve located in
medulla beneath 4th ventricle
mesencephalic nucleus of trigeminal located in
mid brain
main sensory nucleus of trigeminal nerve located in
pons
vestibular and cochlear nuclei of acoustic nerve located in
pons and medulla
nucleus of tractus solitarius located in
dorsal medulla
nucleus of spinal tract of trigeminal nerve located in
dorsal lateral medulla
anosmia
complete loss of smell
anosmia is commonly associated with
viral infections, aging, head trauma
