'''''Synonyms and keywords:''''' cranial nerve palsy, cranial nerve disorder
 
==Overview==
'''Cranial nerve disease''' is a term used to describe an impaired functioning of one of the twelve [[cranial nerves]]. This results in loss of control of facial muscles, erratic movements of the face muscles, or spastic jerks of the face muscles.
 
==Pathophysiology==
It is possible for a disorder of more than cranial nerve to occur at the same time, if a trauma occurs at a location where many cranial nerves run together, such as the [[jugular fossa]]. A brainstem lesion could also cause impaired functioning of multiple cranial nerves, but this condition would likely also be accompanied by distal motor impairment.
 
==Causes==
*[[Diabetes]]
*Facial [[trauma]]
*[[Hypertension]]
*[[Iatrogenic]] damage during surgery
*[[Meningitis]]
*[[Multiple sclerosis]]
 
==Diagnosis==
===Symptoms===
The patient may complain of difficulty smiling, drooping of the face, problems curling their lips, problems controlling eye movements or problems coordinating other facial expressions.
 
===Physical Examination===
====Neurologic Examination====
*Loss of control of facial muscles
*Erratic movements of the face muscles
*Spastic jerks of the face muscles
* [[Oculomotor nerve palsy]] - [[Oculomotor nerve]] (III)
* [[Fourth nerve palsy]] - [[Trochlear nerve]] (IV)
* [[Trigeminal neuralgia]] - [[Trigeminal nerve]] (V)
