Nerves -trigeminal Flashcards
What 3 types of nerves are there?
Motor —-> muscle
Sensory—–> touch and taste
Parasympathetic—–> special sensation ie taste /secretions of glands
Trigeminal nerve is what cranial nerve
CNV
How many branches does the trigeminal nerve have
three
Name the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve
V1- ophthalmic
V2- maxillary
V3 - mandibular
name the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve and there exit points from skull
Ophthalmic V1- superior orbital fissure
Maxillary ( V2) - foramen rotundum
Mandibilar V3- foramen ovale
Name the area of supply of V1
Sensory to Superior 1/3 face - top of the nose to inner eye to top of frontal area
Supplies lacrimal gland
Name the area of supple of V2
Sensory Mid face - side nose - cheek and lower eyelid
Which division(s) of the trigiminal nerve is (are ) sensory only
V1/V2
Which division(s) of the trigiminal nerve had a motor supply
V3 only
Name the are of supply of the mandibular division of V3 and its nerve branches
V3 -Sensation to lower 1/3 face- lower lip/mandibular teeth /mandible( not angle ) meninges and temporal area-
Motor to muscles mastication
Lingual Nerve branch-Sensory to anterior 2/3 tongue and anterior hard palate
Inferior alveolar nerve branch -motor to myelohyoid and ant belly digastric
Name the branches off V3
Buccal
Muscular -> Deep temporal /Masseteric/LAteral pterygoid N
Auriculotemporal
Lingual
Inferior alveolar
Mylohyoid
Mental nerve
incisive
Name nerve supply tongue
Anterior 2/3- V3 ( lingual Nerve branch) general
-VII ( chord tympani ) - taste
Posterior 1/3 - glossopharyngeal nerve (taste and general sensation)
Name a cranial nerve problem of trigeminal nerve and its presentation
Trigeminal neuralgia ( Tic doulourex)
Sharp electric shock nerve pain down trigeminal Nerve distribution on 1side of face
Usually from compression/by a vessel inflammation or degeneration of the nerve
Usually right side and V2/V3> V1
How is trigeminal neuralgia treated
Anticonvulsant meds ( carbamazepine)
Botox injections
Surgery - laser or nerve removal
What cause of trigeminal neuralgia
Unknown
