- 0:00hello everyone
- 0:02today in this video i will tell you the
- 0:04details of granular 8th to 12th i have
- 0:08already uploaded the first two part and
- 0:11the
- 0:12first seven cranial nerve of the cranial
- 0:14nerve examination
- 0:16so 8th cranial nerve is the
- 0:18vestibulocochlear now
- 0:20there are two division vestibular and
- 0:22the cochlear
- 0:23so cochlear division is for hearing and
- 0:26the vestibular division is for
- 0:28equilibrium and the coordination
- 0:30for assessment of the cochlear division
- 0:32we have to assess the hearing both the
- 0:35year should be examined separately so
- 0:38the known tested year should be occluded
- 0:40by the tragal pressure we have to stand
- 0:43behind the child
- 0:45at the distance of 6 centimeter then we
- 0:47have to whisper a sound if child is
- 0:50turning the face toward the sound that
- 0:52means child is hearing our sound
- 0:55then we have to increase the distance
- 0:57between
- 0:59ourselves and the child
- 1:01if child is able to hear the whispered
- 1:03sound even at the distance of 15
- 1:06centimeter
- 1:07that means child is able to hear the 35
- 1:10decibel
- 1:11at the distance of 15 centimeter some
- 1:14conventional sound should be produced
- 1:17example we can clap or we can say the
- 1:20name of the child
- 1:21or we can play the music or we can ring
- 1:24the bell if child is turning the face
- 1:27toward the sound
- 1:29that means child is having the
- 1:3250 to 60 decibel hearing if the child is
- 1:35having hearing loss then we have to
- 1:37perform the tunic fork test and for
- 1:40these tests we use the 512 hertz tunic
- 1:43form
- 1:44in this we perform the release test
- 1:46weber test and absolute bone conduction
- 1:49test
- 1:50so for all these tunic fork tests first
- 1:53we will explain to the child
- 1:55then we will charge the tunic fork on
- 1:57hard surface so in this video you can
- 1:59see i have charged the tunic fork on my
- 2:02elbow
- 2:03then we will keep the vibrating tunic
- 2:05fork in front of the external auditory
- 2:08meters at least one to two centimeter
- 2:10far from the external auditory meter for
- 2:13the air conduction
- 2:15and then we have to tell the child once
- 2:17the child will stop hearing
- 2:20child should tell us then we will keep
- 2:22the tunic fork on the mastoid process to
- 2:26check the bone conduction
- 2:28normally air conduction is better than
- 2:31bone conduction label as a ring is
- 2:33positive
- 2:35if the child is having conductive
- 2:37hearing loss
- 2:38then bone conduction is better than air
- 2:40conduction
- 2:42label as a ring is negative
- 2:44in sensory neural hearing loss both air
- 2:47conduction and bone conduction
- 2:49will be affected
- 2:50but the ear conduction will be better
- 2:52than bone conduction so we will label as
- 2:54a release positive then we have to
- 2:57perform the vapor test
- 2:59we will explain to the child first then
- 3:01we will keep the vibrating tunic fork
- 3:04over the central part of the skull bone
- 3:06so we can keep over the vertex or
- 3:08forehead
- 3:09or over the
- 3:11roof of nose even on the incisor teeth
- 3:14or chin
- 3:15we will explain to the child child
- 3:17should compare the loudness of sound in
- 3:19both ear
- 3:21normally sound will be equally heard in
- 3:23both the ear if sound is lateralized
- 3:26that means child is having hearing loss
- 3:28in conductive hearing loss sound will be
- 3:31better heard in the affected or worse
- 3:33year
- 3:35while in the sensory neural hearing loss
- 3:37sound will be better heard in the normal
- 3:39ear so sound is lateralized to the
- 3:41normal ear
- 3:43after that we have to perform the
- 3:44absolute bone conduction test
- 3:47in which we will compare the
- 3:49bone conduction of the child with our
- 3:52own bone conduction
- 3:55first close the external auditory canal
- 3:57of the chai
- 3:58by the trigger pressure and then keep
- 4:01the vibrating tunic fork over the
- 4:02mastoid process of the child when the
- 4:05child stop hearing
- 4:07then we have to keep the tunic fork for
- 4:09the our own mestroid process after
- 4:12closing the external auditory canal
- 4:15normally and in conductive hearing loss
- 4:18examiner will not hear any sound
- 4:21but if the child is having sensory
- 4:23neural hearing loss in this case
- 4:26examiner will be able to hear the sound
- 4:29so this is about the cochlear part
- 4:32now the assessment of vestibular
- 4:34component vestibular component is
- 4:37mainly for the
- 4:39equilibrium coordination so whenever the
- 4:42child is having dysfunction of the
- 4:44vestibular component child will have the
- 4:46vertigo nystigmas then we have to
- 4:49perform the sum test
- 4:51fukuda stepping test romberg test
- 4:54calorie test oculocephalic test in this
- 4:57video you can see the child is having
- 4:59the nystagmus so whenever vestibular now
- 5:02dysfunction is there
- 5:04child will have the nystigmas
- 5:06in which the fast component is directed
- 5:09away from the affected now if the child
- 5:12is having vertigo
- 5:14then we will perform the fukuda stepping
- 5:16test we will tell the child to stand
- 5:19and extend both the arm
- 5:21close the eyes
- 5:22then we will tell the child to walk in
- 5:24place for 50 steps
- 5:27so in this video you can see
- 5:29if the child is having normal vegetable
- 5:31then child will walk with no rotation on
- 5:34either side
- 5:36if the child is having vestibular noun
- 5:38dysfunction
- 5:39then child will walk with more than 45
- 5:42degree rotation to the affected side
- 5:47then we have to perform the romberg test
- 5:50in which we will tell the child to stand
- 5:53with the arm extended
- 5:54and make sure child should not fall so
- 5:57the examiner should stand behind the
- 5:59child in a
- 6:00manner that child should not fall
- 6:03without touching the child
- 6:05and then we will observe the balance of
- 6:08a child for full one minute
- 6:10then we will tell the child to close the
- 6:12eyes
- 6:13then again observe that child is
- 6:16maintaining the balance or child is
- 6:19showing to the one side
- 6:21loss of balance is labeled as a positive
- 6:24romberg test and when the child is
- 6:27losing the balance even when eyes are
- 6:29open that means
- 6:31child is having the vestibular
- 6:33dysfunction on the side of the fall
- 6:36if the child is
- 6:38maintaining the balance with eyes open
- 6:40but lows the balance with eyes closed
- 6:43only
- 6:44that means child is having posterior
- 6:46coulomb defect
- 6:48spinal disorder then we have to perform
- 6:50the tandem walk test in which we will
- 6:53tell the child to walk in one line
- 6:56if the child will have the vestibular
- 6:57dysfunction then child will sway toward
- 7:00the affected side then we can perform
- 7:03the calorie test practically in exam we
- 7:06don't perform this test unless you
- 7:08should remember how to perform this test
- 7:12in this first we will check the
- 7:13integrity of the tympanic membrane if it
- 7:16is intact unobstructed then we will
- 7:18elevate the head of the patient up to
- 7:20the 30 degree
- 7:21with the help of the syringe we will
- 7:23take the 2 ml of the cold water 3 degree
- 7:26centigrade temperature and similarly
- 7:29also with the warm water 44 degree
- 7:31centigrade temperature
- 7:33we will instill into the external
- 7:35auditory canal
- 7:37for the calorie test
- 7:39if the child is having normal brain stem
- 7:41function
- 7:42then i will be deviated toward the
- 7:44irrigation side
- 7:46and also child will have the nystagmus
- 7:49and the fast component of the nystagmus
- 7:52will be
- 7:53opposite side with the cold water and
- 7:56similarly we have to perform with the
- 7:58warm water of the 44 degree centigrade
- 8:01and the child will have the fast
- 8:03component of the nystigmas toward the
- 8:06same side and we have to perform the
- 8:08oculocephalic test or the dual side
- 8:11phenomena child should be in lying down
- 8:13position and we will turn the head
- 8:15toward the one side suddenly
- 8:18and the conjugate deviation of the eyes
- 8:21toward the opposite side occur
- 8:23if the child is having normal brain stem
- 8:26functions
- 8:27then ninth green and now
- 8:29glossopharyngeal now
- 8:31as its name suggests that it supplies
- 8:34the tongue and the pharynx
- 8:36so the function of the ninth cranial
- 8:39nerve sensory function it supplies the
- 8:41ocean one third of the tongue fairing
- 8:43stone cell internal surface of the
- 8:45tympanic membrane skin of the external
- 8:48ear
- 8:49also
- 8:50test sensation to the posterior one
- 8:52third of the tongue and its motor
- 8:54function it supplies the stylophiles
- 8:56muscle
- 8:58as the most of the function of the ninth
- 9:00cranial nerve are sheared by the tenth
- 9:03vegas now
- 9:04so in exam we have to simultaneously
- 9:07assess the both 9th and 10th cranial now
- 9:11for 9th cranial now we have to check the
- 9:13test sensation over the position one
- 9:15third of the tongue
- 9:16then we have to check the swallowing
- 9:18difficulty is there or not
- 9:21then we will perform the gig reflex
- 9:24in this we have to touch the pharynx or
- 9:26pellet by the tongue blade
- 9:28and when we are touching the lateral
- 9:31oropharyngeal region we label as a
- 9:33pharyngeal reflex when we are touching
- 9:36the soft pellet or eula we will label as
- 9:39a palatal reflex efferent for the gig
- 9:41reflexes ninth cranial nerve and
- 9:44efferent
- 9:45are both ninth and tenth cranial nerve
- 9:49in response to this
- 9:50there will be elevation of the soft
- 9:52pellet and uvula occur
- 9:54and constriction of the oral firing
- 9:57sucker
- 9:58and also the closure of glottis occur to
- 10:01protect the airway so these three
- 10:05mechanisms occur together
- 10:07when we perform the gig reflex
- 10:10now if the ninth cranial nerve pulse is
- 10:12there
- 10:13if the child is having unilateral
- 10:15supranuclear lesion then there will be
- 10:18no deficit because of the bilateral
- 10:21corticobulbar innervation
- 10:23if the child is having bilateral
- 10:25supranuclear lesion
- 10:27then hyperactive gig reflex will be
- 10:29there as seen in the pseudobulbar palsy
- 10:31or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- 10:35if unilateral nuclear or infra nuclear
- 10:38lesion is there
- 10:39then the child will have the unilateral
- 10:42pharyngeal weakness
- 10:44and palatal rafi will be deviated toward
- 10:46the normal side
- 10:48it is generally seen whenever child is
- 10:50having the intra medullary or extra
- 10:52medullary
- 10:54mass
- 10:55or having
- 10:56trauma or motor neurone disease or gbs
- 11:00in this case patient will have the
- 11:02difficulty in swallowing
- 11:04now the 10th cranial nerve vegas now it
- 11:07is the longest cranial nerve
- 11:09there are 10 term branches of the vegas
- 11:11now meningeal branch auricular branch
- 11:14carotid cardiac branch
- 11:15pulmonary branch superior laryngeal
- 11:18recurrent laryngeal
- 11:20pharyngeal branch esophageal branch and
- 11:22gastrointestinal branch
- 11:24now the function of the
- 11:2710th cranial nerve
- 11:28its motor function
- 11:30by its pharyngeal superior and recurrent
- 11:33laryngeal now it supply all the striated
- 11:37muscle of the soft palate fairings and
- 11:39larynx except stylopharynges which is
- 11:42supplied by the ninth cranial nerve
- 11:45and tensor valley palatine which is
- 11:47supply by fifth cranial nerve and by its
- 11:50superior laryngeal now
- 11:53there are again two uh
- 11:55branches of superior laryngeal now
- 11:57internal branch and external branch
- 12:00internal branch is sensory
- 12:03while the external branch supply the
- 12:05cricothyroid while all other intrinsic
- 12:09laryngeal muscles are supplied by the
- 12:13recurrent larynx then the sensory
- 12:15function of the tenth cranial nerve it
- 12:17supply the sensation of the pain
- 12:19temperature touch to the pharynx larynx
- 12:22ear canal external surface of the
- 12:24tympanic membrane and
- 12:26manages of the posterior fossa
- 12:29now for the examination of the 10th
- 12:31cranial nerve we will
- 12:33perform the gig reflex as i have
- 12:35explained in the ninth grain in our
- 12:37examination also we will assist child is
- 12:39able to swallow or not
- 12:41then we will tell the child to open the
- 12:43mouth and say the ah
- 12:45then observe the elevation of the soft
- 12:48palate bilaterally present or not then
- 12:52also check the phonation character of
- 12:54the voice the child is having unilateral
- 12:57tenth green and now passy then the child
- 13:00will have dysphysia more for liquid than
- 13:03solid
- 13:04also child will have the nasal
- 13:05regurgitation because of well of
- 13:08pharyngeal insufficiency
- 13:10when you will check the phonation you
- 13:12will find that your child is having
- 13:13nasal quality hoarseness of voice will
- 13:16be there
- 13:17also because of the weakness of the
- 13:20ipsilateral soft pellet there will be
- 13:22drooping of the pellet or flattening of
- 13:25the palatal arc occur
- 13:27and the euler will be deviated toward
- 13:29the normal side
- 13:31during the phonation and when you will
- 13:33tell the child to say ah
- 13:35also
- 13:37tachycardia loss of oculocardiac reflex
- 13:40can be there
- 13:41when the child is having bilateral tenth
- 13:43rain in a parsy then it is incompatible
- 13:46with life because child will have the
- 13:48respected stress
- 13:49there will be marked dysphasia nasal
- 13:52regurgitation pulling of the secretion
- 13:54occur
- 13:55pellet cannot elevate on the phonation
- 13:59absent gig reflex will be there impaired
- 14:01cup reflex will be there
- 14:03child will have the
- 14:05complete paralysis of the fairings and
- 14:07larynx
- 14:09also tachycardia will be there gi atonia
- 14:12vomiting and respiration can be slow
- 14:14irregular
- 14:16in vasovagal attic because of the
- 14:19stimulation of the wiggle now
- 14:22because of its parasympathetic action
- 14:25it will lead to the bradycardia
- 14:28hypotension
- 14:29faintness or unconsciousness can occur
- 14:33bronchoconstriction bronchoria and
- 14:35increase gi peristalsis increase gi
- 14:38secretions
- 14:39and it will inhibit the adrenal function
- 14:42now the 11th cranial now spinal
- 14:45accessory now there are two parts of the
- 14:48spinal necessary now spinal now and the
- 14:51accessory now
- 14:52spinal now is the major part of the 11th
- 14:55cranial nerve it arrives from the
- 14:57ventral horn of the c2 to c6
- 15:00it supplies the
- 15:02sternocleidomastoid muscle and the
- 15:04trapezius muscle
- 15:05while the accessory now the cranial
- 15:08portion
- 15:09also known as ramus internus it arrives
- 15:13from the codal nucleus ambiguous
- 15:16it emerged from the medulla laterally
- 15:18and it supplies
- 15:20motor fiber to the larynx with the vegas
- 15:23now we cannot directly assess the
- 15:26function of the accessory portion of the
- 15:2811th karina because it supply the larynx
- 15:31with vegas now
- 15:33so we have to assess
- 15:35the function of the accessory portion
- 15:38with vegas now only now for the spinal
- 15:41portion we have to assess the function
- 15:43of
- 15:44sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius
- 15:46muscle
- 15:47sternocleidomastoid muscle helps to turn
- 15:50the face to the opposite side
- 15:53and when both the sternocleidomoistured
- 15:55muscle contract right and left
- 15:58then
- 15:59flex the neck and bring the head forward
- 16:02and the down
- 16:04while the trapezius muscle help in
- 16:07elevating
- 16:08retracting and
- 16:10rotating the scapula
- 16:13also it will help in abduction of the
- 16:16arm above the horizontal position
- 16:18for the examination of the spinal
- 16:21portion of the 11th cranial nerve we
- 16:23have to assess the function of
- 16:25astronoclidomastoid and the trapezius
- 16:27muscle
- 16:28for the sternocleidomastoid muscle we
- 16:31will tell the patient to turn the head
- 16:33to one side
- 16:35and also we have to
- 16:37assess against the resistance by keeping
- 16:40our hand on the child phase at the same
- 16:42time we will observe the contour of the
- 16:45sternocleidomastoid muscle also we will
- 16:48palpate
- 16:49if the child will contract the
- 16:51left-sided sternocleidomastoid muscle
- 16:54face will be turned to the
- 16:57right side
- 16:58and for the assessment of both
- 17:01right and left esternocleidomastoid
- 17:03muscle
- 17:05tell the patient to flex the neck
- 17:07for against resistance we will keep our
- 17:10hand over the forehead or
- 17:12over the chin
- 17:14now for the assessment of the trapezius
- 17:17muscle function
- 17:18tell the patient to shrug the shoulder
- 17:21for against resistance we will keep our
- 17:23hand over the shoulder and we will again
- 17:26tell the patient to elevate the
- 17:27shoulders
- 17:29then we will tell the patient to
- 17:31approximate the occipital to acromion
- 17:33also observe the contour of the
- 17:35trapezius scapula position any asymmetry
- 17:38is there or not
- 17:41now if the child is having 11th cranial
- 17:43nerve palsy due to the weakness of
- 17:46histanoclidomastoid muscle child will
- 17:48not be able to
- 17:50flex the neck and also will not be able
- 17:53to turn the face opposite side
- 17:56and due to the weakness of trapezius
- 17:59muscle there will be drooping of the
- 18:01shoulder occur and flattening of the
- 18:04trapezius recur
- 18:06now the 12th cranial now
- 18:08hypoglossal now it supplies the muscle
- 18:12of the tongue and the function of the
- 18:15twelfth cranial nerve is it will help in
- 18:18protruding the tongue
- 18:20retracting and elevating the tongue
- 18:23so for the assessment of the twelfth
- 18:25cranial now
- 18:27tell the patient to open the mouth then
- 18:30observe the contour and the bulk of the
- 18:32tongue
- 18:33observe any atrophy or fasciculation is
- 18:35there or not
- 18:37then tell the child to protrude the
- 18:39tongue move it in and out and from side
- 18:42to side
- 18:44if child is able to move the tongue
- 18:46freely that means it is normal
- 18:50now if the child is having the 12th
- 18:52cranial nerve palsy in unilateral
- 18:55tongue will be deviated toward the
- 18:57paralyzed side
- 18:59while in the bilateral child will not be
- 19:02able to protrude the tongue
- 19:04and in infra nuclear and nuclear lesion
- 19:07child will have the atrophy and the
- 19:10fasciculation of the tongue also
- 19:13so this is all about the 8th to 12th
- 19:16cranial now
- 19:18in next video i will tell you the
- 19:20details of
- 19:21motor system examination thank you so
- 19:24much
