Vestibulocochlear (VIII)
Location -O: Pons -D: Medulla, Pons, Cerebellum, and Thalmus Sensory/Motor -Special Somatic Sensory
Vagus (CNX)
Location
-O: Medulla
-D: Throat, Lungs, and Visceral
Sensory/Motor
-Branchial motor, Parasympathetic, Somatic Sensory, Visceral Sensory (special), Visceral Sesory
(Pharyngeal & Laryngeal Muscles; Parasympathetic to heart, lungs, and digestive tract to the splenic flexure; Sensation from pharynx, meninges, and a small region near the external auditory meatus, Taste from epiglottis and pharynx; Chemo and baroreceptors of the aortic arch)
Spinal Accessory (CNXI)
Location -O: Medulla, Spinal Cord -D: Soft Palate, Throat and Neck Muscles (Branchial Motor) Sensory/Motor -SCM and Upper Part of Trapezius Muscle
Hypoglossal (CNXII)
Location -O: Intrinsic Muscles of the Tongue (Sensory/Motor -Somatic Motor -UMNL Neurons in PMC or internal capsule to corticobulbar tracts cause contralateral damage, while lesions to hypoglossal nucleus cause ipsilateral deviation to side of lesion
Olfactory Nerve Testing
- Test one nostril at a time, vision occluded
- Do not use noxious odors
- Anosmia
Optic Nerve Testing
Retinal ganglion cells to LGN and then PVC
- Ophthalmoscope
- Visual acuity
- Color vision
- Visual fields
- Visual extinction
Pupillary Responses (CNII and III) Testing
- Direct response impaired:
- Ipsilateral optic nerve, pretectal area, , impaired function of ciliary muscle, or parasympathetic function of III.
- Consensual RESPONSE IMPAIRED IN LESION OF CONTRALATERAL OPTIC NERVE, PRETECTAL AREA PROBLEM CNIII
Trigeminal Nerve Testing (CNV)
General somatosensory
Facial Nerve (CNVII)
Sensory: Taste anterior 2/3 of
Motor: Muscles of facial tongue expression and stapedius muscle
Sensation near external auditory meatus
Facial Nerve Lesions (CN VII)
UMNL vs Facial nerve injury such as Bell’s Palsy
Vestibulocochlear Nerve Testing (CN VIII)
- Hearing and vestibular sensation
- Test audition, Test protective extension, Romberg
CN VIII: Structure Summary
Three main types of information
- Sound
- Angular acceleration
- Linear acceleration
Linear Acceleration
Macula (utricle and saccule) of otolith organ detects linear acceleration and head tilt and transmits to the vestibular nerve
Angular acceleration processed through
Ampulla of semicircular canals
Auditory Branch (CNVIII)
- Sound waves enter through external auditory meatus travel to middle ear
- Middle ear to cochlea
- Hair cells to cochlear nerve
Glossopharyngeal Functions (CNIX)
- Motor: Stylopharayngeus muscle
- Sensation: Middle ear, near external auditory meatus (Pain, temp)
- Taste: Posterior one-third of tongue; Chemo and baroreceptors of carotid body
Vagus Functions (CN X)
- Motor: Pharyngeal muscles and laryngeal muscles
- Parasympathetic: heart, lungs and digestive tract.
- Sensation: pharynx meninges region near external auditory meatus
- Taste: epiglottis and pharynx
- *Chemo and baroreceptos of aortic arch
CN VI: Spinal Accessory
-Sternomastoid, Upper trap
Note: L sternomastoid turns head to R, vice versa
CN VI: Spinal Accessory
-Sternomastoid, Upper trap
Note: L sternomastoid turns head to R, vice versa
Central Sarcoma
Monocular Vision Loss
Bitemporal Hemianopia
Contralateral Homonymous Hemianopsia
Contralateral Superior Quadrantopia
Contralateral Inferior Quandrantopia
Contralateral homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing
Meneri Disease
- Vertigo (build up of fluid)
- Rostral/Caudal Midbrain: Red Nucleus the edinger welt phal nucleus
