Q

What is sciatica

A

Condition characterised by pain radiating from lower back down back of leg caused by a possible disc herniation

45
Q

How to palpate cervical lymph nodes

A

start with submental nodesmoving backwards to sublingual, submandibular and then superiorly to parotid and pre auricular. Then move down anterior chain ventral to sternocleidomastoid palpating the deep cervical ganglions. Once that is complete go posterior to sternocleidomastoid muscle palpating the deep cervica nodes (including supraclavicular) starting with post auricular then finally finshing with occipital.

46
Q

Motion for palpating cervical nodes

A

Circular

47
Q

Borders of anterior triangle in neck

A

Anterior border of sternocleidomastoid muscle, midline and inferior border of mandible

48
Q

Muscular contents of anterior triangle

A

Mylohyoid
Platysma
Digastric muscles
Infrahyoid

49
Q

Vessels of anterior triangle

A

Internal jugular

Carotid arteries

50
Q

Borders of posterior triangle in neck

A

Posterior border of sternocleidomastoid, anterior border of trapezius and superior surface of clavicle

51
Q

Vessels in posterior neck triangle

A
Trunks of brachial plexus
Phrenic nerve 
Subclavian artery
External jugular artery
Spinal accessory nerve
52
Q

Route of IJV

A

runs from jugular foramen down neck within the carotid sheath lateral to carotid artery. Terminates posterior to sternoclavicular joint where it enters subclavian vein

53
Q

Insertion of central line method

A

Put in traingle formed between 2 heads of sternocleidomastoid and clavicle. Aim towards ipsilateral nipple

54
Q

Line of IJV

A

From earlobe to sternoclavicular joint

55
Q

Line of EJV

A

From angle of mandible to mid clavicle

56
Q

Test motor function of sternocleidomastoid

A

Look over shoulder

57
Q

Test motor function of upper fibres of trapezius

A

Shrug shoulders

58
Q

Sensory skin region of V1

A

From hairline covering all of forehead, down around eyebrows coming medial to only cover medial portion of nose

59
Q

Internal sensory regions of V1

A

Nasal mucosa, conjuctiva and frontal sinus

60
Q

Sensory skin region of V2

A

Thin line coming from temple under eye to cover lateral edge of nose and everything down to lower border of upper lip

61
Q

Internal areas covered by V2

A

Upper teeth, gum and roof of mouth

62
Q

Sensory region of V3

A

A strip of skin running from the middle part of the temple then anterior to the ear and down to the chin. In addition it supplies the lower teeth, gums and lip, the lining of the cheeks, the floor of the mouth and the buccal part (anterior two-thirds) of the tongue.

63
Q

Internal sensory region of V3

A

Lower teeth and lips, lining of cheeks and anterior 2/3 of tongue

64
Q

Test motor function of mandibular branch of trigeminal

A

Clench teeth and palpate for bulge of masseter on ceeks and bulge of temporalis on temple

65
Q

Test motor function of facial nerve

Q

Test for motor function of vagus

A

Ask patient to open mouth and say AHHH- look for deviation of uvula
