| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Cranial nerve disease''' is a term used to describe an impaired functioning of one of the twelve [[cranial nerves]].
| |
| | |
| Although it could theoretically be considered a [[mononeuropathy]], it is not considered as such under [[MeSH]].
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| A [[neurological examination]] can test the functioning of individual cranial nerves, and detect specific impairments.
| |
| | |
| ==Examples==
| |
| * [[Oculomotor nerve palsy]] - [[Oculomotor nerve]] (III)
| |
| * [[Fourth nerve palsy]] - [[Trochlear nerve]] (IV)
| |
| * [[Trigeminal neuralgia]] - [[Trigeminal nerve]] (V)
| |
| * [[Sixth nerve palsy]] - [[Abducens nerve]] (VI)
| |
| * [[Facial nerve paralysis]], [[Bell's palsy]], [[Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome]], [[Central seven]] - [[Facial nerve]] (VII)
| |
| * [[Accessory nerve disorder]] - [[Accessory nerve]] (XI)
