-Hyperalgesia
A patient is experiencing double vision. This occurs when he looks towards the right. When he attempts to do this, his right eye fails to abduct. Which nerve is affected in the right eye?
Abducens Nerve (Cranial nerve VI)
A woman woke up to find the right side of her face drooping. She had difficulty blinking with the right eyelid and found food tasted funny.
Facial Nerve (Cranial nerve VII)
A man is having difficulty swallowing when you inspect the uvula with a torch. When he says ‘aah’ the uvula moves across to the right. The vagus nerve is clearly affected, which other nerve is involved?
Glossopharyngeal Nerve (Cranial nerve IX)
A right-handed man is asked as part of a cranial nerve examination to shrug his shoulders. As you press gently on both shoulders you note that the right shoulder is much weaker than the left. Which cranial nerve is affected?
Accessory Nerve (Cranial nerve XI)
A man complains double vision in most directions of gaze. He has an obvious ptosis of the left eye. When the eyelid is pulled up, the left eye is observed to be depressed and out towards the lateral canthus of the eye
Oculomotor nerve (Cranial nerve III)
