17
Q

Lacrimal nerve course

A

Smallest branch
1. Enters orbit through lateral end SOF
2. End in lacrimal gland
3. Receives twig from zygomaticotemporal branch of maxillary nerve containing secretomotor fibers to lacrimal gland

18
Q

Lacrimal nerve branch

A
  1. Palpebral nerve
19
Q

Lacrimal nerve supply

A

Upper lid lateral 1/3

20
Q

Optic nerve

A

Axons of retinal ganglionic cells

21
Q

How does optic nerve differ from other cranial nerves

A

It is surrounded by extension of meninges which means it’s surrounded by subarachnoid space and CSF

22
Q

What causes optic disc edema (papilloedema)

A

Increase in intracranial pressure of optic nerve

23
Q

Optic nerve course

A
  1. Leaves orbit
  2. Enters cranial cavity through optic foramen
  3. It partially decussates with nerve on the opposite side
  4. Form optic chiasma
