Cranial Nerve Palsy
Cranial Nerve Palsy What is a cranial nerve? Cranial nerves are nerves that lead directly from the brain to parts of our head, face, and trunk. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves and some are involved in special senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, feeling) while others control muscles and glands. Which cranial nerves pertain to the eyes? The second cranial nerve is called the optic nerve. It sends visual information from the eye to the brain. The third cranial nerve is called the oculomotor nerve. It is involved with eye movement, eyelid movement, and the function of the pupil and lens inside the eye. The fourth cranial nerve is called the trochlear nerve and the sixth cranial nerve is called the abducens nerve. They each innervate an eye muscle involved in eye movement. The fifth cranial nerve is called the trigeminal nerve. It provides facial touch sensation (including sensation on the eye). What is a cranial nerve palsy? A palsy is a lack of function of a nerve. A cranial nerve palsy may cause a complete or partial weakness or paralysis of the areas served by the affected nerve. In the case of a cranial nerve that has multiple functions (such as the oculomotor nerve), it is possible for a palsy to affect all of the various functions or only some of the functions of that nerve. What are some causes of a cranial nerve palsy? A cranial nerve palsy can occur due to a variety of causes. It can be congenital (present at birth), traumatic, or due to blood vessel disease (hypertension, diabetes, strokes, aneurysms, etc).

During stage 18 (44 days) the dura mater proper appears and the epidural space is located between this meninx and the perichondrium and contains blood vessels. During the last week of the embryonic period (stages 20–23) the epidural space is evident around the circumference of the spinal cord. On the posterior surface it is found between the dura mater and the me- soderm of the dorsal body wall.

Cranial Nerve VIII
Cranial Nerve VIII Color Code Important (The Vestibulo-Cochlear Nerve) Doctors Notes Notes/Extra explanation Please view our Editing File before studying this lecture to check for any changes. Objectives At the end of the lecture, the students should be able to: ✓ List the nuclei related to vestibular and cochlear nerves in the brain stem. ✓ Describe the type and site of each nucleus. ✓ Describe the vestibular pathways and its main connections. ✓ Describe the auditory pathway and its main connections. Due to the difference of arrangement of the lecture between the girls and boys slides we will stick to the girls slides then summarize the pathway according to the boys slides. Ponto-medullary Sulcus (cerebello- pontine angle) Recall: both cranial nerves 8 and 7 emerge from the ventral surface of the brainstem at the ponto- medullary sulcus (cerebello-pontine angle) Brain – Ventral Surface Vestibulo-Cochlear (VIII) 8th Cranial Nerve o Type: Special sensory (SSA) o Conveys impulses from inner ear to nervous system. o Components: • Vestibular part: conveys impulses associated with body posture ,balance and coordination of head & eye movements. • Cochlear part: conveys impulses associated with hearing. o Vestibular & cochlear parts leave the ventral surface* of brain stem through the pontomedullary sulcus ‘at cerebellopontine angle*’ (lateral to facial nerve), run laterally in posterior cranial fossa and enter the internal acoustic meatus along with 7th (facial) nerve. *see the previous slide Auditory Pathway Only on the girls’ slides 04:14 Characteristics: o It is a multisynaptic pathway o There are several locations between medulla and the thalamus where axons may synapse and not all the fibers behave in the same manner.

MENINGEAL LAYERS 1 / 4 • Dura mater forms a thick ring within the spinal canal. • The dural root sheath (aka dural root sleeve) is the dural investment that follows nerve roots into the intervertebral foramen. • The arachnoid mater runs underneath the dura (we lose sight of it under the dural root sheath). • The pia mater directly adheres to the spinal cord and nerve roots, and so it takes the shape of those structures. MENINGEAL SPACES • The epidural space forms external to the dura mater, internal to the vertebral foramen. • The subdural space lies between the dura and arachnoid mater layers. • The subarachnoid space lies between the arachnoid and pia mater layers. CRANIAL VS SPINAL MENINGES&NBSP; Cranial Meninges • Epidural is a potential space, so it's not a typical disease site unless in the setting of high pressure middle meningeal artery rupture or from traumatic defect. • Subdural is a potential space but bridging veins (those that pass from the subarachnoid space into the dural venous sinuses) can tear, so it is a common site of hematoma. • Subarachnoid space is an actual space and is a site of hemorrhage and infection, for example.

The knowledge of the anatomy of the epidural and other spinal spaces seems to play the crucial role in success of regional anaesthesia. It's important in perioperative medicine and cancer pain treatment. Up to date there is not too many datas considering anatomy of these compartments. Many of the results obtained by research- ers in the past are still not mentioned in the clinical textbooks. This article is an attempt to resolve this problem.

It is made up of Cranial nerves; two nerves, the cochlear, which transmits sound and the vestibular which controls balance. It is Pathology; an intracranial nerve which runs from the sensory receptors in the internal ear to the brain stem Vestibulocochlear nuclei and ﬁnally to the auditory areas: the post-central gyrus and superior temporal auditory nerve (VIII) cortex. The most common lesions responsible for damage to VIII are vestibular Schwannomas.

The cochlear nerve Review of anatomy [1] The cochlear nerve has a peripheral sensory origin and follows a centripetal path. It ori- ginates in the cochlear membrane sensory canal, forming the spiral organ (the organ of Corti) and lies on the basilar membrane (Fig. 1). The neuronal ﬁbers of the protoneu- ron connect to the ciliated cells on the spiral lamina (Fig. 2). The axons are grouped together along the axis of the cochlea (modiolus), forming the cochlear nerve which then enters the internal auditory meatus (IAM). Within the internal auditory meatus, the nerve joins the vestibular nerve to form the vestibulocochlear nerve which crosses the cere- bellopontine angle (Figs.

Cranial Nerves
Cranial Nerves Cranial nerve evaluation is an important part of a neurologic exam. There are some differences in the assessment of cranial nerves with different species, but the general principles are the same. You should know the names and basic functions of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves. This PowerPage reviews the cranial nerves and basic brain anatomy which may be seen on the VTNE. The 12 Cranial Nerves: CN I – Olfactory Nerve • Mediates the sense of smell, observed when the pet sniffs around its environment CN II – Optic Nerve Carries visual signals from retina to occipital lobe of brain, observed as the pet tracks an object with its eyes. It also causes pupil constriction. The Menace response is the waving of the hand at the dog’s eye to see if it blinks (this nerve provides the vision; the blink is due to cranial nerve VII) CN III – Oculomotor Nerve • Provides motor to most of the extraocular muscles (dorsal, ventral, and medial rectus) and for pupil constriction o Observing pupillary constriction in PLR CN IV – Trochlear Nerve • Provides motor function to the dorsal oblique extraocular muscle and rolls globe medially © 2018 VetTechPrep.com • All rights reserved. 1 Cranial Nerves CN V – Trigeminal Nerve – Maxillary, Mandibular, and Ophthalmic Branches • Provides motor to muscles of mastication (chewing muscles) and sensory to eyelids, cornea, tongue, nasal mucosa and mouth. CN VI- Abducens Nerve • Provides motor function to the lateral rectus extraocular muscle and retractor bulbi • Examined by touching the globe and observing for retraction (also tests V for sensory) Responsible for physiologic nystagmus when turning head (also involves III, IV, and VIII) CN VII – Facial Nerve • Provides motor to muscles of facial expression (eyelids, ears, lips) and sensory to medial pinna (ear flap).
