Brain and Cranial Nerve Disorders
Trigeminal neuralgia, or tic douloureux, is a syndrome featuring painful paroxysms in one or more distributions of the trigeminal nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia is relatively uncommon, with an annual incidence of 4 to 13 cases per 100,000 population. It is more common in women than in men, with a female-to-male ratio of 1.7 : 1. Affected persons typically are between 50 and 69 years of age, and sy...
متن کاملTesting cranial nerve VII: It is all in the wording
During our practice of clinical neurological examination we frequently observed that patients, upon testing of cranial nerve VII, when instructed to "wrinkle their forehead" (to evaluate the innervation of the M. frontalis), seem to falsely "frown" (i.e. innervate the corrugator supercilii). Here, we set out to prospectively evaluate prevalence and characteristics of this phenomenon. Using a se...
متن کاملPICA origin aneurysm diagnosed 27 years after microvascular decompression of cranial nerve VII.
The authors report a case of a posterior inferior cerebellar artery origin aneurysm causing brainstem compression and swallowing difficulty. The patient had an ipsilateral microvascular decompression of cranial nerve VII for hemifacial spasm 27 years prior to the discovery of the aneurysm. The aneurysm was successfully treated endovascularly. A discussion of possible etiologies of the aneurysm'...
متن کاملEye exercises for treatment of idiopathic cranial nerve VII paresis: pilot study.
BACKGROUND To determine if fine-motor eye exercises can be used for treatment of unilateral, idiopathic cranial nerve VII paresis to improve rate of recovery. METHODS In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, eligible patients were randomized to perform fine-motor eye exercises (n=18) or to do no exercise (n=9) for a period of four weeks. Orbicularis oculi muscle strength was measured...
متن کاملPathfinding by cranial nerve VII (facial) motorneurons in the chick hindbrain.
Cranial nerve VII (facial) motorneurons begin extending axons through rhombomeres 4 and 5 (R4 and R5) in the chick hindbrain on the second day of incubation. Without crossing the midline, facial motorneuron axons extend laterally from a ventromedial cell body location. All facial motorneuron axons leave the hindbrain through a discrete exit site in R4. To examine the importance of the exit site...
