I Olfactory
Smell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Many examiners skip this cranial nerve during a comprehensive exam, but if the patient complains
of loss of smell (anosmia), it should be included in the physical exam.
Testing the sense of smell

Check each nostril for patency.
Ask the patient to close their eyes.
Take a peppermint, cinnamon stick, or fragrant soap and wave it below a nostril.
Ask them to identify the smell testing each nostril separately.
Cranial Nerve I Deficits

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------The olfactory nerve is part of our ability to smell. Loss of the sense of smell is called anosmia.
Most patients with anosmia can still smell harsher smells (sweet and sour) but have difficulty with
flavors like cinnamon and peppermint. Patients with anosmia often complain that they've lost their
sense of taste. Much of the pleasure derived from eating is due to smell, not taste (think of
sniffing a glass of fine wine before drinking it). There are many causes for anosmia:
Trauma
Surgery
Masses affecting the orbitofrontal region or cribiform plate
Destruction of the neuroepithelium due to inflammation, as in chronic rhinitis or viral infection

II Optic
Vision
name=Foru
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Assessing Visual Acuity
Top contrib
Important: In cases of eye pain, injury, or visual loss, always check visual acuity before proceeding
with the rest of the exam or putting medications in your patient's eyes.
Allow the patient to use their glasses or contact lenses. You are interested in the patient's best
corrected vision.
Position the patient 20 feet in front of the Snellen eye chart (or hold a Rosenbaum pocket card at a
14-inch "reading" distance).
Have the patient cover one eye at a time with an opaque card.
Ask the patient to read progressively smaller letters until they can go no further.
Record the smallest line the patient read successfully (20/20, 20/30, etc.)
Repeat with the other eye and then both eyes combined.
Visual acuity is reported as a pair of numbers (e.g., 20/20) where the first number is how far the
patient is from the chart and the second number is the distance from which the "normal" eye can
read a line of letters. For example, 20/40 means that at 20 feet the patient can only read letters a
"normal" person can read from twice that distance.

Sixth Left Cranial Nerve Palsy: Left eye cannot move laterally beyond midline. In this case, caused
by metastatic squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.

Peripheral Left Cranial Nerve 7 Palsy: Picture on left demonstrates loss of wrinkles on left side
of forehead, inability to raise left eyebrow, and loss of left nasolabial fold. Picture on right
demonstrates
inability to close left eye or raise corner of mouth. In this case, the cranial nerve deficit was a
result of
metastatic malignancy though Bell's Palsy would have a similar appearance.

Diabetic Cr. N III palsy

THIRD CRANIAL NERVE PALSIES
Partial to complete weakness of the muscles innervated by the 3rd (oculomotor) nerve, resulting in
ptosis of the lid, mydriasis, and an outwardly turned eye during primary gaze.
When the patient attempts to turn the eye inward, it moves slowly only to the midline. Upward
and downward gaze is compromised in the affected eye. When downward gaze is attempted, the
superior oblique muscle causes the eye to rotate inward.
The many causes of 3rd cranial nerve palsies include most major causes of CNS disease, so choice
of diagnostic tests should be based on the clinical features of the palsy. Intraorbital structural
lesions producing external ophthalmoplegia and ocular myopathies should be distinguished from
cranial nerve disease. Exophthalmos or enophthalmos, a history of severe orbital trauma, or an
obviously inflamed orbit suggests restrictive orbital disease, which may impair ocular motility.
Myopathies are harder to diagnose but are suggested by a partial 3rd nerve palsy. The pupil is
always spared in myopathy.
Completely nonfunctional parasympathetic fibers (causing fixed dilated pupils) strongly suggest
oculomotor nerve compression. The most common causes are aneurysm (especially of the posterior
communicating artery), trauma, and intracranial mass lesion. Oculomotor paralysis in an
increasingly unresponsive patient suggests transtentorial herniation and is a major emergency. If
Page 7 of 12
11/28/14, 10:23 PM
the pupil is completely spared but all other muscles innervated by the 3rd nerve are affected (eg,
diabetic 3rd nerve paresis), the cause is likely to be an ischemic process of the oculomotor nerve
or the midbrain; a demyelinating process is less likely. However, about 5% of posterior
communicating artery aneurysms causing oculomotor paralysis spare the pupil.
Third cranial nerve palsies are most indicative of serious disease when associated with severe
headache or altered consciousness.
A thorough neurologic examination with CT or MRI is performed. Lumbar puncture is reserved for
suspected subarachnoid hemorrhage when CT does not show blood. Cerebral angiography must be
performed if aneurysm causing subarachnoid hemorrhage is strongly suspected or when the pupil is
clearly affected and no head trauma serious enough to fracture the skull has occurred.

Diabetic MONOneuropathy affects one nerve, hence the MONO. Polyneuropathy affects more than
one nerve.

It should be done ideally after the visual aquity test. Then to rule out any Scotoma, the test should
be done with Red Hat Pin, bringing to the central field with one eye closed and ask the patient "
what colour the pin is". If the answer is pink it means there is scotoma. Later, the Pin should be
moved to horizontally towards temporal region, where it disappears. Again asking for colour to role
out Optic nerve damage.

hi guys.... this is an excellent step on how to examine CNs which is thought to be very hard..A
good approach is to know the nerves by heart so that it will be easy to perform the examination.
Experienced Member
1) Olfactory is just assessing smell
Posts: 16
2) Optic nerve:
-assess visual acuity, color vision and visual field

- check direct and consensual light reflex
- then do a swinging test which is used to check for optic neuritis which is a sign of MS
-finally perform accomodation
3) Oculomoter, Trochlear, and Abducen are checked by assessing eye movement
4) Trigeminal nerve:
- sensory is checked by using a cotton and asking the patient to close their eyes while you assess
the divisions of the V nerve
- it is said by professors that it is important to ask if the touch feel the same because sometimes
they can feel it but one side is duller than the other
-motor is checked by muscle of masstication and temporal muscle on clenching the teeth
5) Facial nerve:
- ask the patient to show you his teeth, close his eyes and dont allow you to open it, and puff his
cheeks
- leave raising the eyebrows for last because this test will distinguish if it is UMN or LMN
6) Vestibulocochlear nerve:
- it is checked by performing the Rinne AND Weber's test
7) Glossopharyngeal nerve and vagus:
- look at the soft palate and see if it is raised when the patient says AHHHH
- also look to see if the uvula is in the midline
-get for gag reflex
8) Accessory nerve:
- check the power of Sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscle
9) Hypoglossal nerve:
- ask the patient to stick out his tongue
- look for deviation, wasting, or fasciculations.
I hope this is helpful for those who want to know how to examine CNs

I suppose, the Visual fields are part of Second which should be carried out. This OSCE was many
times in exams where they wanted us to check the visual fiels and give them diagnosis such as
Homonymous Hemianopia or Bitemporal.
