- 0:00hello everyone today in this video i
- 0:03will perform the third part of the cns
- 0:05examination crania no examination so
- 0:08first crania now is olfactory now its
- 0:11function is
- 0:13to sense the smell
- 0:15and as we know sense of ismail is
- 0:18present since birth
- 0:20but it's not possible to test the
- 0:22function of olfactory now in less than
- 0:24five years age group so whenever the age
- 0:27of the child is more than five year then
- 0:29we can perform the examination of first
- 0:31cranial nerve
- 0:32first we have to explain the child
- 0:35that we are going to
- 0:37check the both the nostrils
- 0:39tell the child to close the eyes
- 0:41and then
- 0:43bring the known irritating substance
- 0:45example in this video i brought the
- 0:48chocolate eliji
- 0:50and the hing
- 0:52and
- 0:53bring the substance near to the
- 0:56one nostril and
- 0:58occlude the another nostril then ask the
- 1:01child to
- 1:02tell about the smell
- 1:04if the child is able to recognize the
- 1:06correct smell that means child is having
- 1:08normal olfactory now function
- 1:11if child is having loss of sense of
- 1:13smell
- 1:14we label as a anosmia it can be due to
- 1:17some upper respiratory tract infection
- 1:19some allergic disorder or if the child
- 1:21is having any mass in the nasal cavity
- 1:23or due to trauma
- 1:25we label as a hyposmia and hyperusement
- 1:28whenever child is having the decrease or
- 1:31increase sense of smell respectively
- 1:34we label as a perisma whenever there is
- 1:36a distorted sense of smell and always
- 1:40remember
- 1:41don't bring the irritating substance for
- 1:43the olfaction because it will stimulate
- 1:46the triseminal now
- 1:48so always bring the known irritating
- 1:50substance for the first cranial now
- 1:52examination then we have to assess the
- 1:55second cranial nerve optic now for the
- 1:57assessment of the optic nerve function
- 2:00we have to assess the visual acuity
- 2:02then color vision then field of vision
- 2:04then fundus examination
- 2:07for the visual acuity for far reason
- 2:10in examination whole we can tell the
- 2:12child to read the letter which is
- 2:14mentioned in the notice board
- 2:16but ideally in more than three years age
- 2:19group
- 2:20far reason should be assessed by the
- 2:22sunillas chart or e chart
- 2:25we have to mention the visual equity of
- 2:27the child by the formula small d by
- 2:30capital d where small d is the distance
- 2:33between child and the chart
- 2:35which we keep
- 2:376 meter
- 2:38it is numerator and capital d is the
- 2:41smallest line of the letter in snail and
- 2:43chart that child can read
- 2:46it is denominator and the size of the
- 2:48later in snail and chart
- 2:51is
- 2:52basically a distance at which later are
- 2:55readable by the normal reason person so
- 2:58the largest later in snellen's chart
- 3:01normal person can read at the distance
- 3:04of 60 meter and the smallest later
- 3:08normal person can read at the
- 3:10distance of 6 meter
- 3:12that's why this 6 meter distance we keep
- 3:15between the chart and the
- 3:17child
- 3:18normal visual equity at the time of
- 3:20birth is
- 3:226 by 45
- 3:24it improves as the age increase and it
- 3:26becomes 6 by 6 by the age of 6 years
- 3:31and if child is not able to read
- 3:34the largest letter
- 3:36of the sunilla's chart at the distance
- 3:38of 6 meter then we will decrease the
- 3:41distance between the child and the chart
- 3:44and
- 3:45if the child is able to read the
- 3:48largest letter at the distance of three
- 3:50meter we will mention three by sixty
- 3:53if child is not able to read even at the
- 3:56distance of one meter between the chart
- 3:59and the child
- 4:01then we will tell the child to count the
- 4:03finger at 1 meter distance
- 4:06and visual equity
- 4:08is less than 1 by 60 if child even not
- 4:12able to count the finger
- 4:14then
- 4:15we will just move our hand
- 4:17then we will check child is able to
- 4:19perceive or not
- 4:21if child is not able to perceive even
- 4:23the hand movements
- 4:26then check the perception of light is
- 4:28there or not and we have to mention the
- 4:30visual acuity of the both the eyes
- 4:33separately
- 4:34after that we have to assess the near
- 4:36vision in more than three years age
- 4:38group by keeping any book at the
- 4:40distance of 30 to 35 centimeter if child
- 4:43is able to read according to the age we
- 4:45will label as a normal near reason then
- 4:48we have to assess the color reason by
- 4:51ishihara chart if child is able to
- 4:54identify able to differentiate between
- 4:57the various color it is again possible
- 4:59in more than three years age group
- 5:02after that we have to assess the field
- 5:04of vision by the confrontation test it
- 5:06is again possible in more than three
- 5:07years age group and distance between the
- 5:10child and the examiner should be half
- 5:12meter an examiner should sit at the same
- 5:15eye level of the child and
- 5:19both should occlude the same side of the
- 5:22eyes so example in this video i am
- 5:24testing the child's right eye field of
- 5:27vision so for this i have occluded my
- 5:29right eye and i have tell the child to
- 5:32occlude his left eye and then we have to
- 5:35give the instruction to the child that
- 5:38fix the gaze
- 5:40of
- 5:41his right eye
- 5:42into the examiner's left eye and then i
- 5:45have placed my finger at the lateral
- 5:48limit of the my own visual field midway
- 5:51between
- 5:53myself and the child and
- 5:56then i'm moving my finger toward the
- 5:58child and
- 5:59then we have to ask the child to say
- 6:02yes whenever child is able to see the
- 6:04finger so we have to compare the hour
- 6:08field of vision with the child's field
- 6:10of vision and we have to check all the
- 6:13four quadrants of each eye separately
- 6:16and after field of vision we have to
- 6:18assess the fundus
- 6:20and fundus examination should be done by
- 6:22the ophthalmoscope
- 6:24in this video you can see how to perform
- 6:26the fundus examination by ophthalmoscope
- 6:29and we have to mention the details of
- 6:31optic disk
- 6:33macula retina retinal vessels
- 6:36if you find any abnormality is there
- 6:38then we have to clearly mention
- 6:41after second cranial nerve examination
- 6:43we have to perform the examination of
- 6:45third cranial nerve oculomotor now in
- 6:48this first we have to examine for the
- 6:50ocular moments then pupil size shape and
- 6:53bilaterally equal or not then pupillary
- 6:56light reflects then echo mutation reflex
- 6:58for the assessment of ocular movements
- 7:01we have to simultaneously assess the
- 7:03fourth and sixth cranial nerve also all
- 7:06extraocular muscles are supplied by the
- 7:09third cranial now except
- 7:12lateral rectus which is supplied by the
- 7:14sixth abducent now
- 7:16and superior oblique which is supplied
- 7:18by the fourth trochlear nerve
- 7:21for the assessment of ocular movements
- 7:24first we have to explain to the child
- 7:26and then we have to sit at the distance
- 7:28of 30 to 40 centimeter from the child
- 7:31and then we have to move our finger in
- 7:33the shape of invisible edge
- 7:36for the assessment of
- 7:38all the eye movements abduction
- 7:40adduction
- 7:42and extortion induction
- 7:44up and down
- 7:46and then we have to explain to the child
- 7:48to follow our finger without moving the
- 7:50head
- 7:52child will have the double reason or
- 7:55disconjugate gauge
- 7:56when third or fourth or sixth grain and
- 7:59now palsy will be there and this double
- 8:01vision occur when child looks toward
- 8:03which paralyzed muscle normally moves
- 8:06the eyeball
- 8:07and according to the
- 8:09position of eyeball also we can
- 8:11differentiate is it the third or fourth
- 8:14or the
- 8:15sixth cranial nerve parsy example in
- 8:17third gradient now policy child will
- 8:19have the squint and i will be displaced
- 8:22outward and down
- 8:24and in fourth grade and now policy i
- 8:27will be displaced up and out in sixth
- 8:29grade and now policy it will be
- 8:32displaced inward
- 8:34so by the position of eyeball we can
- 8:36differentiate which cranial nerve pulse
- 8:38is there third cranial now also supply
- 8:41the levator pulpery superioris so
- 8:43whenever there is a third cranial nerve
- 8:45palsy child will have the unilateral
- 8:47ptosis then check the pupil size shape
- 8:50and bilaterally equal or not whenever
- 8:53there is a third karinen now parsi pupil
- 8:55will be dilated we have to examine for
- 8:57the pupillary light reflex by directly
- 9:00shining the
- 9:01light into the eye in response to the
- 9:04light pupil of both eyes will be
- 9:05constricted so pupil constriction in the
- 9:08ipsilateral eye which is stimulated with
- 9:11light label as a direct pupillary light
- 9:13reflex while pupil constriction of the
- 9:15opposite eye will be labeled as a
- 9:18indirect pupillary light reflex so in
- 9:20this video i have assist the left direct
- 9:22pupillary light reflex and right
- 9:25indirect pupillary light reflex
- 9:27for this we have to tell the patient to
- 9:29keep the hand between both the eyes
- 9:31so
- 9:33we can avoid the direct stimulation of
- 9:35the
- 9:36opposite side of the eye claim for
- 9:38pupillary light reflex is optic now and
- 9:40the efferent limb is oculomotor now
- 9:43so if the child is having the optic
- 9:45nerve damage
- 9:46example
- 9:48if child is having left optic now
- 9:50damaged
- 9:51then left to direct and the right
- 9:53indirect plr will be absent
- 9:55but the patient will have the normal
- 9:58right direct and left indirect
- 10:01pupillary light reflex if the left optic
- 10:04noun image at any level is present
- 10:07if the efferent limb for the pupillary
- 10:10light reflex is affected example if the
- 10:12child is having left o kilomotor now
- 10:14listen in this case both left-sided
- 10:18direct and indirect pupillary light
- 10:20reflex will be absent
- 10:22while the right sided direct indirect
- 10:24both will be normal
- 10:26then we will examine for the
- 10:28accommodation reflex also known as near
- 10:30reflex or convergence reflex
- 10:33in this we will tell the child to look
- 10:35at the far object in examination hall
- 10:38then suddenly we will bring our finger
- 10:41in front of the nose and
- 10:43we will tell the child to fix the gauge
- 10:46on our finger
- 10:48so the point of focus of the eyes change
- 10:50from distant object to the near object
- 10:53in accommodation reflex
- 10:55the result to this there is convergence
- 10:58of both the eyes contraction of the
- 11:01ciliary muscle result in the change in
- 11:03shape of the lens and the pupillary
- 11:05constriction all three action occurs
- 11:08simultaneously in accommodation reflex
- 11:11afferent and efferent limb of the
- 11:13accommodation reflex is similar to the
- 11:15pupillary light reflex second and the
- 11:18third cranial nerve
- 11:19in spite of the same neural pathway
- 11:23sometime patient is having the normal
- 11:25accommodation reflex but the lowest
- 11:28pupillary light reflex
- 11:30we label as a light near dissociation it
- 11:34occur because the midbrain center for
- 11:36the accommodation reflex is more ventral
- 11:39in position
- 11:40than the pre-tactile nucleus
- 11:42which control the light reflex example
- 11:45of the light near dissociation are
- 11:47neurosyphilis known as argyl robertson
- 11:51pupil
- 11:52also seen in the dorsal mid brain
- 11:54syndrome diabetes mellitus
- 11:57eddie's pupil
- 11:59after third fourth and sixth cranial
- 12:01nerve examination i will perform the
- 12:03fifth cranial nerve examination
- 12:05trigeminal now it is the mix now having
- 12:08both sensory and the motor component
- 12:11in sensory component there are three
- 12:13branches of trigeminal now ophthalmic
- 12:16maxillary and the mandibular
- 12:18all three branches supply the
- 12:21face for the sensation except the angle
- 12:25of jaw which is supplied by the c3 and
- 12:28c2
- 12:30so for examination of the sensation over
- 12:32the face first we will explain to the
- 12:34child then we will tell the child to
- 12:36close the eyes
- 12:37touch sensation we can use the wisp of
- 12:39cotton
- 12:41and in all three divisions of the
- 12:44trijamanda now
- 12:46we will touch the cotton wisp and
- 12:49child will say yes whenever child is
- 12:51having the
- 12:52feeling of touch
- 12:54by localizing the touch side
- 12:57and for the pain sensation we can use
- 12:59the pin but it is not
- 13:01possible in children for temperature we
- 13:04can use the cold and hot water
- 13:07when there is sensory loss
- 13:10over the face
- 13:11child will have the
- 13:13feeling of broken glass on the affected
- 13:15side when the child will drink any
- 13:18liquid now after the assessment of the
- 13:22sensation
- 13:23over the face we have to assess the
- 13:25motor component of the trigeminal nerve
- 13:28it supplies the muscles of mastication
- 13:31masseter temporalis and the terry good
- 13:34we will ask the child to clench the
- 13:36teeth
- 13:37then we will see the contraction of the
- 13:40masseter and the temporalis muscle
- 13:43and we will also feel the contraction of
- 13:46both the muscles
- 13:47for pterygoid we will tell the child to
- 13:50open and close the mouth
- 13:52also protrude and retract the jaw
- 13:55also move the jaw from side to side
- 13:59for the pterygoid muscle
- 14:01we should also assess all the
- 14:03mastication muscle power against the
- 14:05resistance by putting our hand
- 14:08if the child is having fifth granular
- 14:11palsy then joe will be deviated toward
- 14:13the paralyzed side when child will open
- 14:15the mouth because of the action an
- 14:18opposed action of healthy terry gold
- 14:20muscle example in right fifth green
- 14:23inner parsy joe will be deviated toward
- 14:25the right side when child will open the
- 14:27mouth
- 14:29then we have to perform the corneal
- 14:31reflex efferent limb for the corneal
- 14:33reflex is ophthalmic division of the
- 14:35fifth cranial nerve and the efferent
- 14:37limb is facial now seventh gradient to
- 14:39perform the corneal reflex first we will
- 14:42explain to the child child should keep
- 14:43the eyes open
- 14:45and we will touch the limbus of cornea
- 14:48by cotton
- 14:49either from the side or from below in
- 14:51response to this
- 14:53there will be
- 14:54bilateral blinking response occur
- 14:57so this is all about the trigeminal
- 14:59nerve examination
- 15:01i have covered the first six cranial now
- 15:03today in next video rest of the cranial
- 15:06nerve from 7th to 12th
- 15:08i will explain
- 15:10thank you so much
