test 2 Flashcards
fractures of the orbit can cause intraorbital bleeding. the pressure causes protrusion of the eyeball
exophthalmos
paralysis of levator palpebrae superioris, causes superior eyelid to droop (ptosis)
lesion of CN III
where can a Tumor in middle cranial fossa travel?
Enter orbital cavity through superior orbital fissure
damage to CN VII
paralysis of orbicularis oculi
prevents eyelids from closing fully
Ducts of ciliary glands become obstructed
red pus producing sty on eyelid
Chalazia
cyst of sebaceous glands of the eyelids
seepage of fluid b/w neural and pigmented layers of retina
detached retinal
how does a detached retina effect vision
Straight lines will look wavy/crooked
Increase in Cerebral Spinal Fluid slows venous return from the retina and causes edema of retina
Papilledema
lenses become harder and flatter with age
presbyopia
cataracts
cloudiness/loss of transparency of lens from areas of opaqueness
Outflow of aqueous humor slower than aqueous is produced causing retinal compression
glaucoma
Sensory damage to CN V1
loss of sensory feeling can damage corneal damage eventually needing transplant
no corneal reflex are indicative of lesions on which CN?
lesion of CN V1 and CN VII
Sign of compression of the CN III
ipsilateral slowness of the pupillary light reflex
Eyelid can not be raised
Pupil dilated and nonreactive due to unopposed dilator pupillae
Down and out (abducted and depressed) due to unopposed LR6 SO4
symptoms of Oculomotor Nerve Palsy
Anesthetizes auriculotemporal, inferior alveolar, lingual, and buccal branches of mandibular nerve
Mandibular nerve block
All mandibular teeth are anesthetized, skin and mucous of lower lip, labial alveolar mucosa and gingiva and skin of chin as well since they are supplied by mental branch of this nerve
Inferior alveolar nerve block
head of mandible can dislocate anteriorly by passing anterior to the articular tubercles now unable to close mouth
Dislocation of Temporomandibular Joint
Malignant tumors of the posterior part of the tongue metastasize which lymph nodes
superior deep cervical lymph nodes
paralysis of this muscle causes complete relaxation of the tongue causing posterior shift which can cause suffocation
Paralysis of Genioglossus
Trauma to the hypoglossal nerve results in
paralysis and atrophy of one side of the tongue. Protrusion of the tongue will fall to paralyzed side.
Nerves involved in Gag Reflex
CN 9 (afferent and muscle) CN 10 (muscle contraction)
Epistaxis (nosebleed)
most cases due to trauma
comes from anterior third of nose (Kiesselbach)
are also associated with infections and hypertension
Deviation of nasal septum
may result from birth injury, or trauma during adolescence and adulthood
- in severe cases, the nasal septum contacts the lateral wall of nasal cavity
- obstructs breathing, exacerbates snoring
- corrected by surgery
Rhinitis
nasal mucosa is swollen and inflamed in severe upper resp. infections & allergic reactions
wryneck
Congenital torticollis, fibrous tissue tumor forms on SCM before or after birth
Muscular torticollis
head pull during birth tears fibers in SCM forming a hematoma
fibrous mass that forms traps CN XI denervation of the SCM
adulthood, abnormal tonicity, most commonly involves the SCM and trapezius
Spasmodic torticollis (cervical dystonia
