Central facial palsy is the paralysis of the lower half of one side of the face. This condition is often caused by a stroke. This condition is often the result of damage of the upper motor neurons of the facial nerve. The facial motor nucleus contains ventral and dorsal areas that have lower motor neurons that supply the upper and lower face ...
Cranial nerve palsy; Bleeding (sometimes profuse) from the nose and ears; Hemotympanum; Conductive or perceptive deafness, nystagmus, vomiting; In 1–10% of patients, optic nerve entrapment occurs. [4] The optic nerve is compressed by the broken skull bones, causing irregularities in vision. Serious cases usually result in death
The facial nerve is the seventh of 12 cranial nerves. This cranial nerve controls the muscles in the face. Facial nerve palsy is more abundant in older adults than in children and is said to affect 15-40 out of 100,000 people per year. This disease comes in many forms which include congenital, infectious, traumatic, neoplastic, or idiopathic.
Möbius syndrome results from the underdevelopment of the VI and VII cranial nerves. [4] The causes of Möbius syndrome are poorly understood. It is thought to result from a vascular disruption (temporary loss of blood flow) in the brain during prenatal development. [4] There can be many reasons for vascular disruption leading to Möbius syndrome.
Bell's palsy can trigger an increased sensitivity to sound known as hyperacusis. [6] The cause of Bell's palsy is unknown [1] and it can occur at any age. [4] Risk factors include diabetes, a recent upper respiratory tract infection, and pregnancy. [1] [7] It results from a dysfunction of cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve). [1]
Dr. Jason Nellis, an assistant professor of otolaryngology at Johns Hopkins Medicine and an expert in Bell’s palsy, tells Yahoo Life that the condition — which comes on suddenly — happens ...
Various kinds of tumors, usually primary and benign, are represented in the pathology. Lesions in the area of cerebellopontine angle cause signs and symptoms secondary to compression of nearby cranial nerves, including cranial nerve V (trigeminal), cranial nerve VII (facial), and cranial nerve VIII (vestibulocochlear). The most common ...
The facial nerve, also known as the seventh cranial nerve, cranial nerve VII, or simply CN VII, is a cranial nerve that emerges from the pons of the brainstem, controls the muscles of facial expression, and functions in the conveyance of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
