Q

What 2 key nerves does the ophthalmic division of the Trigeminal (V) nerve branch to?

Q

Why is a case of Trigeminal herpes with vesicles on the tip of the nose a cause for concern?

A

Nasociliary branch of Trigeminal (V) nerve supplies sense to the surface of eye and dorsum of nose

39
Q

A

Bottom of the pons

40
Q

What does the Facial nerve (VII) supply?

A

Muscles of facial expression + stapedius (muscle in middle ear)

Parasympathetic to lacrimal gland, nasal gland, salivary glands except for the parotid gland

Taste to the anterior 2/3 tongue

41
Q

How can you assess whether someone has a facial nerve (VII) lesion?

A

Unilateral facial drooping (innervates muscles of facial expression)
+
Symptoms of other facial nerve functions like lack of taste or affected lacrimation or salivation

42
Q

What is the route of the facial nerve?

A

Bottom of pons through the internal acoustic meatus through the Petrous bone (gives off 3 branches in the Petrous bone) then emerges through the skull through the parotid gland to to stylomastoid foramen

43
Q

What 3 branches does the facial nerve give off while running through the Petrous bone?

A

Greater Petrous all nerve
Nerve to stapedius
Chorda tympani

44
Q

What is the function of the greater Petrosal nerve?

A

Carries parasympathetic to lacrimal and mucosal glands

45
Q

What is the function of the nerve to stapedius?

A

Motor branch to stapedius

46
Q

What is the function of the nerve chords tympani?

A

Carries taste

47
Q

What are some causes of Facial nerve lesions?

A

Lesions in/around internal acoustic meatus and posterior cranial fossa tumours
Basal skull fracture (Petrous bone)
Middle ear disease
Inflammation in facial canal
Bells Palsy
Ramsay-hunt syndrome

48
Q

What is Ramsay-hunt syndrome?

A

Facial nerve lesion (shingles) with facial droop and vesicles in ear

49
Q

Where does the Vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII) arise from?

A

Pons

50
Q

What is the route of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)?

A

Pons ->internal acoustic meatus ->Petrous bone - target tissues of inner ear

51
Q

What are the target tissues of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)?

A

Cochlea (hearing)

Vestibular system (balance)

52
Q

How can patients present with vestibulocochlear (VIII) nerve lesions present?

54
Q

What are the 4 nerves that arise from the medulla?

A

IX = Glossopharyngeal
X = Vagus
XI = accesssory
XII = Hypoglossal

55
Q

What is the route of of the Glossopharyngeal (IX) and vagus nerve (X)?

A

Arise medulla
Runs through posterior cranial fossa
Exits through jugular foramen
Enter into carotid sheath
Glossopharyngeal exits carotid sheath proximally but vagus continues inferiorly down length of neck

56

A

Sensory to oropharynx and sensation to middle ear
Post 1/3 of tongue (sensation and taste)
Parasympathetic to parotid
Afferent from carotid sinus + carotid body

57

What are the target tissues of the Vagus nerve (X)?

A

Muscles of larynx and most of pharynx (including soft palate)
Parasympathetic to many tissues
General sensory of parts of external ear

58
Q

How May patients with Glossopharyngeal and/or vagus nerve (X) lesions present?

A

Difficulties with speech or changes in voice (CN X)
Difficulties with swallow (CN X)
Weak cough (CN X)

59
Q

How can you test for the functionality of the vagus nerve (X)?

A

Speech and cough
Soft palate movement and uvula position
Swallow
Gag reflex (also tests glossopharynegal)

60
Q

What can lead to pathology of the Glossopharyngeal and Vagus nerve (IX + X)?

A

Recurrent laryngeal nerve branch of CNX (thyroid pathology or surgery, superior thorax/mediastinal pathology)

Pathology involving carotid sheath structures

Posterior cranial fossa tumours
Base of skull fractures

Brainstem(medullary) lesions

61
Q

How do both the accessory and the (XI) and the hypoglossal (XII) nerve run?

A

Arise from medulla and runs through posterior cranial fossa

Both enter into carotid sheath:
-hypoglossal exits and travels towards tongue
-accesssory exits and heads towards posterior triangle

62
Q

What are the target tissues of the hypoglossal (XII) nerve?

How do you test for pathology?

A

Muscles of tongue on the same side as the nerve

Ask patient to move tongue side to side

63
Q

What are some pathologies that can lead to Hypoglossal L nerve lesions?

A

Surgery/pathology in proximity to or involving upper carotid sheath , int and ext carotid artery

Posterior cranial fossa tumours

64
Q

What way does the tongue bend if you have a right hypoglossal nerve (XII) injury?

A

Lick your wound

So would bend to right since right genioglossus would be weak or paralysed

65
Q

What is the target tissues for the Accessory (XI)?

A

SCM

Trapezius

66
Q

How can you test the functionally of Accessory nerve?

A

SCM turn head

Trapezius shrug shoulders

67
Q

What pathologies can cause Accessory nerve lesions (XI)?

A

Injuries, surgery or pathology involving posterior triangle

Posterior cranial fossa tumours

68
Q

How does the accessory nerve run?

A

Emerges deep to posterior border of SCM to enter posterior triangle

Runs superficially in posterior triangle to reach trapezius

69
Q

What does sensation and taste to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue?

A

Sens = lingual (Vc)

Taste = Facial (chorda tympani)

70
Q

What does sensation and taste to the posterior 1/3 of the tongue?

A

Glossopharyngeal does both Sens and taste to posterior 1/3 of tongue
