If delay of facial nerve recovery is expected, early implantation of a gold weight into the upper eyelid is a good option to facilitate lid closure and corneal protection for patients with paralytic lagophthalmos [27]. This procedure is well tolerated and offers excellent eye closure and reduced...
The trigeminal nerve actually branches out into three different nerves, thus the nametri-geminal. The three nerves are the ophthalmic nerve, the maxillary nerve, and the mandibular nerve. These nerves are sensory, as well as motor. The ophthalmic and maxillary nerves are sensory nerves, while th...
The sixthcranial nerve nucleusis located close to the midline of the pons, beneath the floor of thefourth ventricle. It is bordered on its medial side by the median longitudinal fasciculus and capped by the facialcolliculus, an indentation in the floor of the fourth ventricle made by thefacial...

The third cranial nerve also controls elevation of the eyelid. Observe for ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelids) as can be seen in lesions of the third nerve, Horner's syndrome (ptosis, miosis, and decreased ipsilateral facial sweating caused by sympathetic lesions), or muscle diseases such ...
Test for Oculomotor nerve? CN III Dorsal, ventral, or medial movement of the pupil in the head (tracking) looking for lateral strabismus in lesioned animal, droopy upper eyelid, pupillary light reflex (II in III out) including the indirect response to light in the contralateral eye ...
In turn, the sensitized nerve ending liberate vasoactive neuropeptides such as calcitonine gene-related peptide (CGRP), Substance P and Glutamate, leading to a local neurogenic inflammation [22]. Since it is currently established that OnaA inhibits exocytosis of acetylcholine as well as multiple ...
