  2. Cerebellopontine angle syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellopontine_angle...

    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 ...

  3. Vestibulocochlear nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulocochlear_nerve

    The vestibulocochlear nerve consists mostly of bipolar neurons and splits into two large divisions: the cochlear nerve and the vestibular nerve. Cranial nerve 8, the vestibulocochlear nerve, goes to the middle portion of the brainstem called the pons (which then is largely composed of fibers going to the cerebellum). The 8th cranial nerve runs ...

  4. Microvascular decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvascular_decompression

    Using a microscope or endoscope and micro-instruments, the arachnoid membrane is dissected allowing visualization of the 8th, 7th and finally the trigeminal nerve. The offending loop of blood vessel is then mobilized. Frequently a groove or indentation is seen in the nerve where the offending vessel was in contact with the nerve.

  5. Facial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_nerve

    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.

  6. Chvostek sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chvostek_sign

    The Chvostek sign is the abnormal twitching of muscles that are activated (innervated) by the facial nerve (also known as Cranial Nerve Seven, or CNVII). [1] When the facial nerve is tapped in front of the ear, the facial muscles on the same side of the face will contract sporadically (called ipsilateral facial spasm). The muscles that control ...

  7. Millard–Gubler syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millard–Gubler_syndrome

    Paralysis of the abducens (CN VI) leads to diplopia, internal strabismus (i.e., esotropia), and loss of power to rotate the affected eye outward), and disruption of the facial nerves (CN VII) leads to symptoms including flaccid paralysis of the muscles of facial expression and loss of the corneal reflex.

  9. Bell's palsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_palsy

    Bell's palsy is the result of a malfunction of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), which controls the muscles of the face. Facial palsy is typified by an inability to move the muscles of facial expression. The paralysis is of the infranuclear/lower motor neuron type.
