The eye is turned down and out. What type and site of lesion do you expect?
Pressure from the uncus, a fracture in the cavernous sinus, or aneurysms could damage CN III, resulting in a dilated pupil, ptosis, the eye being turned down and out, and a loss of pupillary reflex on the side of the lesion
A laceration or contusion in the parotid region or a fracture of the temporal bone might damage which nerve?
A laceration or contusion in the parotid region, a fracture of the temporal bone, or a stroke might damage the facial nerve, resulting in paralysis of facial muscles, an eye that remains open, a drooping mouth, a smooth-appearing forehead (no wrinkles), dry cornea, and loss of taste in the anterior two-thirds of the tongue
Which nerve might be damaged by a fracture involving the cavernous sinus?
A fracture involving the cavernous sinus might damage the oculomotor nerve or the abducens nerve
The stylopharyngeus is associated with which branchial arch?
The third arch is associated with the glossopharyngeal nerve, stylopharyngeus, and the greater horn and lower portion of the body of the hyoid bone
The arytenoid and cricoid cartilages and laryngeal connective tissue are formed by what?
The arytenoid and cricoid cartilages and laryngeal connective tissue are formed by lateral plate mesoderm
Advertisement
Which of the following prominences is NOT correctly paired with the structures formed from it?
The lower lip is formed from the mandibular prominence
