what can occur with CN II deficits

A

visual deficits

24
Q

what is the function of the medial rectus muscle

A

eye adduction

25
Q

what is the function of the superior rectus muscle

A

up and inward movement of the eye

26
Q

down and out

29
Q

what cranial nerve supplies the lateral rectus muscle

A

CN VI

30
Q

what cranial nerve supplies the superior oblique muscle

A

CN IV

31
Q

what cranial nerve supplies the superior rectus, inferior oblique, inferior rectus, and medial rectus muscles

A

CN III

32
Q

what is the function of CN III

A

pupil constriction - parasympathetic

lens accommodation for near vision/focus - parasympathetic

33

where can you find the CN III/oculomotor nerve

A

between midbrain and pons

36
Q

what will occur with CN III deficit

A

ptosis: eyelid drooping, caused by paralysis of the levator palpebrae superioris
lateral strabismus - eye directed in and out
absent pupillary light reflex
dilated pupil
lack of lens accommodation

37

A

posterior midbrain

40
Q

where is the CN IV/trochlear nerve located

A
