Quiz 3 (C.N. V-VIII) Flashcards
Sensory areas for V1
Surface of the eye, tear glands, scalp, forehead, upper eyelids
Common dysfunction of V1
Neuralgia
Common causes of V1 neuralgia
-Vascular loop compressing nerve root or occasionally MS -Cavernous sinus lesions -Superior orbital fissure lesions
Sensory areas for V2 and V3
Teeth, gums, lips, palate, and skin of the face
Motor areas of V2 and V3
Motor to muscles of mastication
Common dysfunction of mastication of V2 and V3
Neuropathy
Common causes of neuropathy for V2 and V3
-Lesions of cavernous sinus or superior orbital foramen -MS -Vascular loop -Carcinomatous or lymphomatus, meningitis -Connective tissue disorders -Meningiomas, schannomas or metastatic tumors at the skill base (like NF2)
Tests for C.N. V
-Corneal blink reflex -Sharp sensation on the face -Light touch sensation on the face -Inspect muscles of mastication for tone and strength -Jaw jerk reflex -General sensation to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue
Largest C.N. What divisions make up this nerve?
Trigeminal V1- Ophthalmic V2- Maxillary V3- Mandibular
Muscles of mastication
-Masseter -Temporalis -Pterygoid -Mylohyoid -Digastric
What movements of the jaw are accomplished by C.N. V?
All movements (elevation, depression, protrusion, retraction, and side-to-side movements)
The mandible upon opening deviates toward the ___________ side when there is unilateral paralysis of the masticatory muscles
Paralyzed side
Bilateral paralysis of the mandible indicates what type of lesion?
Bilateral corticobulbar lesion
Describe Jaw Jerk reflex
-Mouth begins partly open -Reflex hammer tapped on the chin just below the lips in a downward direction
Normal and abnormal findings of the Jaw Jerk reflex. What would an abnormal finding indicate?
Normal- little to no jaw movement Abnormal- quick snapping of the mouth Abnormal finding indicates upper motor neuron lesion
Formed by the union of V1, V2 and V3
Trigeminal (semilunar, Gasserian) ganglion
The dura of the anterior cranial fossa is supplied by this nerve
V1
V1 leaves the orbit through the ____________ and proceeds through the lateral wall of the _____________ in close relation to C.N.’s _________
Superior Orbital Fissure Cavernous sinus C.N. III, IV, VI
Supplies upper lip, lateral and posterior portions of nose, upper cheek, anterior temple, mucosa of nose, upper jaw, upper teeth, roof of mouth, and dura of part of the middle cranial fossa
V2
