nerves carrying pain and temp sensation, in medulla

124
Q

what are the two ways the extra cranial course of the peripheral nerve can be damaged?

A

injury to the head
herpes zoster virus aka shingles

125
Q

injury to the head can damage the extra cranial course of the peripheral nerve because…

A

bc the trigeminal nerve is pretty superficial, not rly covered by any muscles

ex. trauma to the chin can lead to sensory loss from lower lip ad chin; injection of anesthetic into the inferior alveolar nerve by the dentist

126
Q

herpes zoster virus aka shingles can…

A

lie dormant in the trigeminal gnaglion

when active it travels along the peripheral nerve, leads to irritation at the outbreak, pain following resolution

127
Q

what are the two ways the trigeminal nerve can be damaged w/i the middle cranial fossa

A

peripheral nerve can be damaged by compression as nerve passes thru MCF, or by a schwannoma of the nerve

acoustic neuroma (schwannoma of CN VIII) can compress trigeminal nerve (cerebellopontine angle syndrome, where is here the nerve travels thru)

128
Q

for the CN V, damage in the medulla causes

A

primarily loss of pain and temp sensation on ipsilateral side of face

129
Q

for CN V, damage to the pons causes

A

loss of discriminative touch ipsilaterally; may also be a LMN lesion (affecting ipsilateral muscles of mastication)

130
Q

for CN V, damage above the brainstem leads to

A

all modalities contralateral to affected hemisphere are affected - no notable UMN damage bc m of mastication are bilaterally innervated, and drive mostly by sensory input w/i the pons

131
Q

3 ways the sensory component CN V can be tested

discriminative touch (touch skin w sharp end of pointed object)

simple touch (w cotton swab -not at midline of face, corneal reflex)

pain/temp (warm or cool objects against skin)

132
Q

how to test jaw closure for CN V

A

at rest, palpate massester and temporalis on both sides, ask to clench jaws together tightly

w jaw closed examiner tries to depress it

133
Q

how to test jaw opening for CN V

A

client opens mouth, jaw will deviate toward weak side (side of LMN damage)

w jaw open examiner tries t close it

134
Q

how to test lateral jaw motion for CN V

A

client moves jaw to one side, examiner tries to push it back to midline

have client move jaw back and forth

135
Q

how to test jaw jerk (neurological exam) for CN V

A

tap middle of chin w reflex hammer while jaw is slightly open - no movement or slight closing constitutes normal reflex

136

speech, mastication, swallowing, and one’s facial appearance
