CASE REPORT To describe a case of combined bilateral cranial nerve palsy of traumatic origin. To determine the lesions that produce the symptoms is useful to define the final prognosis and the best treatment. DISCUSSION We report the case of a patient who developed a bilateral sixth nerve and left third nerve palsy after head trauma. The underlying lesion was a diffuse axonal injury. After an...

The paediatric cranial nerve examination is complicated by the fact that the patient may not be able to cooperate fully with the examiner. This necessitates the use of a clearly structured and age appropriate approach to ensure that important clinical signs are elicited. This review aims to present a reproducible schema for examination of cranial nerves in neonates, infants and children. Some i...

Peripheral facial nerve palsy (FNP) is the most common cranial nerves neuropathy. It is very rare during dental treatment. Classically, it begins immediately after the injection of local anaesthetic into the region of inferior dental foramen and it's homolateral to the injection. Recovery takes a few hours, normally as long the anaesthetic lasts. The authors present a 44-year-old patient who pr...

MJA • Volume 184 Number 12 • 19 June 2006 he ca wo T incidence of non-melanotic head and neck skin ncers in Queensland is among the highest in the rld. Perineural spread (PNS) from these lesions involves either small nerves, identified at pathological examination (incidental), or large nerves, presenting clinically as cranial nerve palsies. Basal cell carcinoma is the more common skin cancer, b...

The material for this paper comprises four case reports, which must necessarily be presented in some detail, having regard to the points in which they resemble and differ from one another. The resemblance between these cases is close enough to suggest that they constitute a recognizable clinical syndrome. As to their aetiology, the data permit no definite conclusion but suggest the possibility ...

Cranial nerve blocks (CNBs) have been used for the acute and preventive treatment of a variety headaches, including migraine. The effectiveness CNBs in migraine is usually observed beyond duration block, possibly due to central pain modulation. most target greater occipital nerve. Other commonly targeted nerves are lesser various branches trigeminal nerve, supratrochlear, supraorbital, auriculo...

While brain stem involvement in multiple sclerosis (MS) is relatively common, isolated cranial nerve palsies are rare, especially when they represent the initial presenting sign of a new diagnosis of MS. This report describes a patient with no prior history of MS whose sole presenting sign was an isolated abducens palsy. An enhancing pontine lesion was found on MRI which correlated with his abd...

BACKGROUND Third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerve (CN3, CN4, and CN6) palsies are not uncommon in neuro-ophthalmology. The time and quality of recovery depend on the causes of the cranial nerve palsy. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the causes and outcome of acquired paralytic strabismus (PS) in a southern Taiwan population. METHODS This study involved a retrospective chart review of...

Objective: Extraforaminal juxtafacet cyst is rare and present a surgical challenge due to its anatomical location. This study aimed introduce the technique of interlaminar contralateral endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy (ICELF) for extraforaminal removal reveal approach-related benefits.Method: The endoscope was docked on ipsilateral spinolaminar junction access foraminal area through sublaminar s...
