A

flaccid paralysis (LMN) involving all ipsilateral facial muscles distal to lesion site

25
Q

What happened to a patient that presents with a central type of paralysis, facial weakness due to bilateral innervation, FORHEAD SPARED, eyes partially affected, and the mouth and neck fully involved?

A

Stroke

26
Q

A central lesion affecting CN Vll pathways will cause what?

A

MC spontaneous or perverted tastes

27
Q

A peripheral lesion (PROXIMAL TO THE STYLOMASTOID FORAMEN) will cause what?

A

taste loss only on the ipsilateral side

28
Q

What is ageusia?

A

complete taste loss

29
Q

What is confirmed if there is a complete hemifacial paralysis w/o loss of taste on the ipsilateral anterior 2/3 of the tongue.

A

Bells palsy b/c the lesion was peripheral but not proximal the the stylomastoid foramen

30
Q

What is the sole function of the cochlear division of CN Vlll

A

provide hearing

31
Q

What is hypoacusis?

A

Decrease or loss of hearing

32

increase in hearing

33
Q

Central lesions of CN Vlll are most often associated with:

  1. Hypoacusis
  2. Hyperacusis
A
  1. Hyperacusis (increased hearing)
34
Q

What are the two major varieties of hearing loss?

A

Conductive and sensorineural

35
Q

What are 4 common etiologies for conductive hearing loss?

A
  1. Auditory canal obstruction
  2. Tympanic membrane (direct or indirect) trauma

Q

What can sensorineural hearling loss usually be attributed to?

A

disease of the end organ (organ of corti) or auditory nerve

A

Right nystagmus

41
Q

What is it called if there is no fast component of a nystagmus?

A

pendular

42
Q

What are the two temperatures of water that can be used for caloric irrigation?

A

warm = 103 - 110 degrees F

Cold = a few drops of ice water

43
Q
