2
Q

what happens if lesion when follows of the superior+ posterior cerebral arteries around the cerebral peduncles

contralateral body weakness if lesion is close to the cerebral peduncles

3

any or all eoms can be affected

7
Q

within pons–> corticospinal tract (contra-weakness)

8
Q

A
  • within the cav sin near ica
  • sympathetic fibers leave the ica + travel with the cn6 before splitting to cn3 or cn4
  • first nerve involved with ica aneurysm
  • horner’s usually occurs in the cav sin due to all the signs
9
Q

travels through the superior orbital fissure above the CTR outside the muscle cone

10

11
Q

what does the SR nuclei innervate

A

12
Q

what does cn6 nucleus contain and what do they do

internuclear neurons that travel in the MLF to the contralateral MR nucleus

13
Q

A

posterior

below the inferior colliculus

14
Q

why are you relatively extorted in primary gaze

A
  • head tilt will force intorsion
  • head turn will force the bad eye to abduct so the rectus muscles control up and down movements
  • head is tilted downwards is the objects are more in line with the hyper eye
15
Q

CN3 fascicle pathway

A

  • follows the posterior communicating artery
16

17
Q

CN3 fascicle pathway innervention

susceptible to compression and stretching injuries, particularly with increased ICP

if lesion above sof and ctr

A

so palsy

numbness of forehead (cn5)

22

trochlear nerve nucleus location

A

midbrain at the level of the inferior colliculus

  • anterior to cerebral aqueduct
  • dorsal to MLF
  • caudal to cn3 nucleus
23

closes eyelids

24
Q

what cranial nerves are involved in sensory for EOMS

25

cn6 lesion

A

gaze palsy innervation to LR to contralateral MR

26
Q

what does the edinger westphal nucleus innervate

A

iris, sphincter (miosis), cb (acc, cb contracts, parasympathetic)

27
Q

where wall does the cn4 enter

A

wall of cav sin

28
Q

cn 6 palsy - what deviation from primary position

A

esotropic deviation- greater at distance

29
Q

levator innervates

A

bilaterally

30
Q

the parasympathetic fibers are spared in

A

spared in ischemic lesion due to vasculature surrounding the nerve

first thing to go involved in compressive lesions, including an aneurysm or tumor

31
Q

cn 7 facial nucleus

A

loops around cn6 nucleus in pons

32
Q

what branches does the facial nerve divide int

A

temporal and zygomatic supplies the frontalis , procerus, corrugator, orbicularis

33
Q

what happens in a complete cn3 palsy

A
  • ptosis
  • the eye is positioned down and out due to the unopposed actions of the SO and LR
  • they cannot adduct (MR)
  • in the abducted position, cannot move up or down (SR, IR)
  • in the adducted position, they cannot move the eye up (IO)
  • pupil dilation
  • decreased acc
34
Q

what is the so palsy compensation

A

head tilt to the opposite shoulder

  • chin down
  • head turn towards
  • in lateral movements -abducts- turns head away from eye involved bc to abduct eye (rectus muscles to go up and down)-minimizes diplopia
35
Q

cn6 nerve pathway

A
  1. fascicle
  2. exit the groove between the pons and medulla
  3. runs along the occipital bone and posterior slope of the petrous portion of the temporal bone
    - -makes a sharp bend over the petrous ridge
