N1 Flashcards
Parasympathetic Cranial nerves
III Oculomotor, VII Facial, IX Glossopharyngeal, X Vagus
DON’T TREAT POINTS THAT DON’T SCAN
DON’T DO IT
Cranial Nerve Scan - Primary
1/2 finger above supraorbital ridge from notch to middle, L-M
“In Row” is lateral - lateral most is posterior, medial most is anterior
“Out Row” is medial - (Lat) V, VII, X (Med)
Cranial Nerve Scan - Out of Row
Lat to Med on zygoma,
V, VII, X (with vagus as largest area and most inf)
Cranial Nerve Scan - Parasymp. Branches
Med to OM suture, above superior nuchal line, Lat to Med (III, VII, IX, X)
Cranial Nerve TP Row
ABD, OM - (suture) - OLF, OPT, GLO, TRO, VEST, - (space) - HYP, SA
If cranial nerve symtpoms but don’t scan CN
look at C1-3, T1-2 causing brain stem edema

TP: 1 fingers ant to coronal suture in cranial nerve row, press A-P
RX - sphenoid posterior medial towards nuclei
OLF-N - Olfactory (I)
TP: 1 fingers post to coronal suture in cranial nerve row, press A-P
RX - rotate and lift lacrimal/ethmoid towards TP side
