🗑
If a pt presented with a lesion of the right 6th CN, what problem might she have?   show
🗑
If a pt presented with a lesion of the right 6th CN and its nucleus, what problem might he have?   show
🗑
show R eye elevated and extorted  
🗑
Identify the muscle producing: pure vertical up movement of the eye when it is positioned 51 deg toward the nose (adducted).   show
🗑
Identify the muscle producing: pure down movement of the eye when it is rotated 23 deg outward.   show
🗑
show superior oblique  
🗑
Besides the EOM, what else do the motor fibers of CN III directly innervate?   show
🗑

🗑
If while testing a pt's ability to accomodate, you notice the globes do not converge, what is a probable diagnosis you might be thinking about?   show
🗑
show CN III/nucleus damage  
🗑
show the affected eye will be abducted, depressed and slightly intorted  
🗑
Describe the manifestations of Horner's syndrome.   show
🗑
What might an astute triage nurse be looking for if she suspects the pt has a R sided CN III parasympathetic nerve problem?   show
🗑
show Spotting a bird across the street - relaxed ciliary muscles mean flattened lens, which is best for distance sight  
🗑
show Nerve itself; one nucleus complex feeds parasympathetics to both sides and their close proximity makes it hard to obliterate just one  
🗑
Define strabismus.   show
🗑
show MLF  
🗑
show trochlear nerve  
🗑
Which nerve is the only one to exit the brainstem dorsally and decussate before reaching its target muscle?   show
🗑
show normally  
🗑
show extorted and elevated, causing diplopia  
🗑
A pt with left CN IV damage presents to your office holding her head in a tilted position to ameliorate her diplopia. How is her head positioned?   show
🗑
Monocular diplopia is due to...   show
🗑
show a neurologic issue  
🗑
show Both eyes roll to the left = intorted R eye and extorted L eye  
🗑
show inward maintenance of eye is due to LR paralysis  
🗑
What is the L abducens nucleus responsible for innervating?   show
🗑
What sx are typical of "1-and-a-half syndrome?"   show
🗑
show multiple sclerosis (MS)  
🗑
Name the tract that allows the R abducens nucleus to control both the R LR muscle and the L MR muscle.   show
🗑
Explain the mechanism behind internuclear ophthalmoplegia.   show
🗑
show salivatory, nucleus solitarius and facial motor nucleus  
🗑
show the eye would be deviated medially  
🗑
What is the purpose of the paramedial pontine reticular formation (PPRF)?   show
🗑
Where is the PPRF located in a braintem cross-section?   show
🗑
Which Brodmann's area includes the frontal eye fields (FEF)?   show
🗑
show rapid movement of eye under conscious control to allow abrupt change of point of fixation  
🗑
What Brodmann's areas include the extrastriate visual cortex?   show
🗑
show ipsi superior colliculus, ipsi frontal eye fields and contra PPRF  
🗑
show through the posterior commissure  
🗑
True/False: One test for an intact lateral geniculate nucleus with fully functioning synapses is the swinging light test.   show
🗑
show brachium of the superior colliculus  
🗑
What functions comprise the "near triad?"   show
🗑
show syphilis  
🗑
show syphilis likely selectively attacks the fibers that enter the E-W nucleus ventromedially; these fibers are only responsible for destroying light reflex fibers. Near triad fibers are ventrolateral and thus spared.  
🗑
Argyll-Robertson pupil   show
🗑
Explain the path of neuronal activity needed to elicit mydriasis.   show
🗑
show obliteration of sympathetic fibers feeding the affected side's eye - Horner's syndrome sx  
🗑
True/False: Both autonomic nerves affecting pupillary size make synaptic connections in the ciliary ganglion.   show
🗑
Eye exam findings: direct light into the R eye shows sluggish pupillary response, direct light into the L causes a brisk constriction of the R pupil. IMMEDIATELY after, direct light in the R pupil shows no constriction, but a steady dilation. Condition?   show
🗑
show motor is always medial  
🗑
What structure from the medulla merges with the dorsal horn of the spinal cord?   show
🗑
show CN V, VII, IX and X  
🗑
show EOMs have sensory receptors that originate in mes. nucleus of trigeminal that relay to CN III, IV and VI to control eye movements  
🗑
show mesencephalic nucleus of CN V  
🗑
What is the innervation of the muscle that attaches to the malleus?   show
🗑
show corneal reflex, chief sensory nucleus of trigeminal and its peripheral afferent through V1  
🗑
show the jaw will be towards the L; the L. lateral pterygoid moves the jaw to the R. Therefore, the strong R. lateral pterygoid will move jaw to same side as lesion  
🗑
If the nerve going to ocular muscles on the R is severed and a physician takes a wisp of cotton to touch the R cornea, what should she see the pt do?   show
🗑
What CN must be intact in order to send signals to the brain that one has just inhaled ammonia?   show
🗑
show Bell's palsy  
🗑
show dorsal - lower face ventral - upper face  
🗑
One or both of these CNs could be involved in hyperacusis.   show
🗑
The ventral portion of the facial motor nucleus receives (unilateral/bilateral) innervation from the motor cortex.   show
🗑
How might one tell the difference btwn Bell's palsy or an acute ischemic stroke of the cerebral motor hemicortex?   show
🗑
What is the name for palpebral fissure diminishment?   show
🗑
show CONTRALATERAL(?) hyperacusis  
🗑
show lacrimal, submandibular and sublingual glands  
🗑

🗑
show CN IX, X, XI (bulbar), and XII  
🗑
Where do fibers innervating the parotid gland originate (what nucleus)?   show
🗑
show to the unaffected side  
🗑
show Nothing necessarily, although CN IX brings info from carotid sinus, unilateral 9th nerve deficits should not make a detectable deficit in BP  
🗑
show the portion of the nucleus solitarius receiving afferents via CNs VII and IX  
🗑
show R cerebral cortex, L hypoglossal nucleus and L CN XII are all intact  
🗑
What section of the brainstem is the hypoglossal nucleus within?   show

show bulbar portion of CN XI  
🗑
show false

🗑
show visual cortex and extrastriate visual cortex (Brodmann 18-19)  
🗑
