Q

how to distinguish between stroke and bell’s palsy?

A 
bell's= all muscles of facial expression impaired
stroke= forehead sparing= occipitofrontalis and orbicularis oculi, due to their bilateral innervation

Q

what happens with a complete palsy of oculomotor nerve proper?

A

present with down and out position of eye due to paralysis of all extraocular muscles aside from sup oblique which moves eye down, and lateral rectus which moves eye out
drooping (ptosis) of upper eyelid due to LPS paralysis

Q

why might patient with oculomotor nerve palsy present with a dilated pupil?

A

loss of PNS innervation to sphincter pupillae, and unopposed action of dilator pupillae innervated by intact sympathetic fibres.
PNS fibres actually hitch hike onto nerve, so likely to be damaged if nerve damaged, but actually originate from Edinger-Westphal nucleus whereas oculomotor nerve proper from oculomotor nucleus

Q

why is the presentation of a patient with a dilated pupil, in addition to a down and out eye and ptosis more worrying than if pupil wasn’t dilated?

A

more likely that damage to oculomotor nerve is result of compression by an aneurysm of tumour

17
Q

within which artery might an aneurysm occur to cause a complete palsy of the oculomotor nerve?

A

posterior communicating artery

18
Q

what might be the cause of damage to the autonomic nerve fibres from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, but sparing anatomical oculomotor nerve, causing a dilated pupil and loss of accomodation reflex?

A

bacterial or viral infection

19
Q

presentation of a patient with damage only to PNS portion of oculomotor nerve?

A

dilated pupil- sphincter pupillae
loss of accomodation reflex- ciliary muscles
normal oculomotion- MR, SR, IR and IO intact
normal palpebral fissure- LPS intact

20
Q

what is the usual cause of damage to only the somatic portion of the oculomotor nerve?

A

poor blood supply e.g. diabetes or increased BP

21
Q

why are PNS fibres of oculomotor nerve susceptible to compression by an anuerysm of tumour?

A

fibres are relatively superficial

22
Q

when does bilateral damage of facial nerve occur?

A

Parkinson’s disease

SE of certain medications e.g. anti-psychotics

23
Q

when is the facial nerve at risk of damage?

A 
forceps delivery
parotidectomy
parotitis
partoid tumour
tympanectomy
nerve inflammation within facial canal
surgical procedures of infratemporal fossa
nerve incision
24
Q

what nucleus do special sensory fibres for taste of facial nerve terminate in?

A

nucleus solitarius in medulla

25
Q

what fibres does the chorda tympani, part of facial nerve, transmit?

A

special sensory to join lingual nerve to convey taste

pre-synaptic PNS fibres to submandibular ganaglion to supply SM and SL glands

26
Q

how does the greater petrosal nerve, given off in the facial canal, contribute to PNS innervation?

A

carries pre-ganglionic fibres to pterygopalatine ganglion

27
Q

where does facial nerve proper originate?

A

facial motor nucleus in pons

28
Q

PNS fibres of facial nerve come from which nucleus?

A

superior salivatory

29
Q

general sensory fibres of facial nerve are from which ganglion?

A

geniculate

30
Q

what is innervation provided to by somatic sensory fibres of facial nerve?

A

small area of skin of concha of auricle

31
Q

why would a parotid tumour cause a facial nerve motor palsy?

A

congestion would occur within tight parotid sheath which doesn’t allow expansion if increased pressure and so the nerve would be compressed

32
Q

3 PNS ganglia assoc with trigeminal nerve?

A

otic ganglion- glossopharyngeal, via auriculotemoral
submandibular ganglion- facial, via lingual
pterygopalatine ganglion- facial, via maxillary branch of trigeminal

33
Q

the maxillary branch of the trigeminal is associated with which PNS ganglion?

A

pterygopalatine, to lacrimal, nasal and palate glands

34
Q

occipitofrontalis and the superior part of orbicularis oculi are supplied by which branch of facial nerve?

A

temporal

35
Q

which branch of facial nerve supplies inferior part of orbicularis oculi?

A

zygomatic

36
Q

which branch of facial nerve supplies buccinator, orbicularis oris and zygomaticus?

A

buccal

37
Q

which branch of facial nerve supplies mentalis?

A

marginal mandibular

38
Q

which branch of facial nerve supplies platysma?

A

cervical
