trigeminal ganglion
What are possible cause of trigeminal neuralgia
abberant artery that compresses cranial nerve 5
What are possible treatment options for trigeminal neuralgia
carbamazepine to treat symptoms; microvascular decomphression
What are the muscles of facial expression

duck face or whistle
What is the function of zygomaticus major
smiling
What is the function of platysma
superficial muscle helps tense the neck

What are the attachments of the buccinator muscle
pterygomandibular raphe to orbicularis oris
What nerve will chorda tympani hitchhike on
lingual
What structure will the facial nerve use to exit the skull

Where does the posterior auricular nerve originate
CN7
What does the posterior auricular nerve innervate
posterior auricular muscle and occipital belly of occipitofrontalis
What are the 5 branches of CN7 that will pass deep to parotid gland

What do the temporal branches of CN7 supply
orbicularis occuli and frontal branches
What do the zygomatic branches of CN7 supply
zygomaticus major and upper lip
What do the Buccal branches of CN7 supply
cheek to corner of mouth, innervate buccinator
What are the main vessels that supply blood to the face
facial
superficial temporal
maxillary
opthalmic arteries from internal carotid
What is the clinical significance of venous drainage of the face
there are many intracranial connections, lack of valves allow for bid-directional flow, which can permit spread of infection
What arteries will supply the lips
labial arteries from external carotid
What artery will supply the upper eyelids
supratrochlear and
supraorbital arteries from internal carotid
What artery will supply the cheek
transverse facial from superficial temporal
How is the retromandibular vein formed
merging of superficial temporal and maxillary vein
Where does the common facial vein drain
internal jugular vein
How is the common facial vein formed
retromandibular vein communicates with facial vein, submental vein
What veins are involved in the danger area of the face
deep facial vein communicates with pterygoid venous plexus: communicates with cavernous venous plexus
What is the danger of the danger triangle of the face
venous connections from face to the cranial cavity which can potentially spread infection through the venous channels
What is the lymphatic drainage of the face
- parotid
- submandibular
- submental
all drain to deep cervical nodes along internal jugular vein
What is the lymphatic drainage of the lips
submandibular (upper and lateral lower)
submental: medial, lower lip
What are S/S of Bells Palsy
Droopiness, can’t wrinkle forehead
What is the cause of Bells Palsy
damage to cranial nerve 7
What is the parotid gland enclosed by
