A
1 - temporal

28
Q

how might the olfactory nerve get damaged

A

fractured cribriform plate - tear olfactory nerve fibres

= anosmia

29
Q

what type of damage can occur from the optic nerve

A

increased CSF - papilloedema

section of right optic nerve - blindness in right eye

section of optic chiasm - bitemporal hemianopia

section of optic tract - homonymous hemianopia

30
Q

what can happen if the oculomotor nerve is damaged

A

drooping of upper eyelid
eyeball abducted and pointing down
no pupillary reflex
no accommodation

31
Q

what can happen if the trochlear nerve is damaged

A

diplopia when looking down

32
Q

what can happen if the abducens nerve is damaged

A

medial deviation of the affected eye causing diplopia

33
Q

what happens if there is damage of the trigeminal nerve

A

paralysis of muscles of mastication
loss of corneal or sneezing reflex
loss of sensation in the face
trigeminal neuralgia

34
Q

why is the facial nerve most frequently injured and what can damage cause

A

long pathway through the bone

bells palsy - cannot frown, close eyelid or bare teeth

35
Q

damage to the vestibulocochlear nerve can cause

A

tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
deafness (conductive vs sensorineural)
vertigo (loss of balance)
nystagmus (involuntary rapid eye movements)

36
Q

damage to the glossopharyngeal nerve can cause

A

loss of gag reflex and taste from back of tongue

associated with injuries to CNs X and XI - jugular foramen syndrome

37
Q

what does damage to the vagus nerve cause

A

pharyngeal branch - difficulty swallowing

laryngeal branch - difficulty in speaking

38
Q

what doe damage to the accessory nerve cause

A

weakness in turning head and shrugging shoulders

39
Q

when is the hypoglossal vulnerable to injury and what does damage cause

A

during tonsillectomy

paralysis and atrophy of ipsilateral half of tongue - tip deviates towards affected side
