Q

I- olfactory nerve
Damage

A

The olfactory nerve (ON) is the only cranial nerve exposed to the external environment. Hence, it is susceptible to damage from head trauma, viral infection, inflammatory stimulation, and chemical toxins, which can lead to olfactory dysfunction.

Q

II - Optic nerve
Damage

A

Optic neuritis occurs when swelling (inflammation) damages the optic nerve — a bundle of nerve fibers that transmits visual information from your eye to your brain. Common symptoms of optic neuritis include pain with eye movement and temporary vision loss in one eye.

Q

IV - Trochlear nerve
Test + signs for its damage:

A

Patients with trochlear nerve palsy complain of double vision vertically (vertical diplopia) or the images being tilted or rotated (torsional diplopia). The diplopia is binocular and may worsen or improve in different gazes.

The oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves are tested by holding a pen or finger 30-40 cm in front of the patient in an H pattern. [1] The patient should follow the target with their eyes, carefully keeping their head still. Any eye deviation, abnormal head posture, or nystagmus should be noted.
