  2. Cranial nerve examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerve_examination

    Corneal reflex is conducted along with the facial nerve section of the test. Note the sensory innervation of the cornea is provided by the trigeminal nerve while the motor innervation for blinking the eye is provided by the facial nerve.-Muscles of mastication (temporalis, masseter) should be inspected for atrophy. Palpate the temporalis and ...

  3. Nerve injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_injury

    This type of nerve damage may cause paralysis of the motor, sensory, and autonomic functions, and is mainly seen in crush injury. [2] If the force creating the nerve damage is removed in a timely fashion, the axon may regenerate, leading to recovery. Electrically, the nerve shows rapid and complete degeneration, with loss of voluntary motor units.

  4. Peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_neuropathy

    Peripheral neuropathy, often shortened to neuropathy, refers to damage or disease affecting the nerves. [1] Damage to nerves may impair sensation, movement, gland function, and/or organ function depending on which nerve fibers are affected. Neuropathies affecting motor, sensory, or autonomic nerve fibers result in different symptoms. More than ...

  5. Small fiber peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_fiber_peripheral...

    A skin biopsy for the measurement of epidermal nerve fiber density is an increasingly common technique for the diagnosis of small fiber peripheral neuropathy. [13] Physicians can biopsy the skin with a 3-mm circular punch tool and immediately fix the specimen in 2% paraformaldehyde lysine-periodate or Zamboni's fixative. [ 20 ]

  6. Neurological examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurological_examination

    A neurological examination is the assessment of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired. This typically includes a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history, [1] but not deeper investigation such as neuroimaging.

  7. Jaw jerk reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaw_jerk_reflex

    The jaw jerk reflex or the masseter reflex is a stretch reflex used to test the status of a patient's trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and to help distinguish an upper cervical cord compression from lesions that are above the foramen magnum.
