- 0:00hello everyone today in this video i
- 0:03will tell you the details of
- 0:057th cranial now facial now so today you
- 0:08will learn function of the facial now
- 0:11how will you examine for this now
- 0:13then how will you differentiate
- 0:15the facial palsy is upper motor neurone
- 0:18and lower motor neurone then you will
- 0:21learn level of lesion in umn versus
- 0:24element
- 0:25facial pulsy facial nerve is the mixed
- 0:28cranial nerve mainly its motor function
- 0:31so the motor function of the facial
- 0:33nerve is it supplies all the facial
- 0:35muscle for the facial expression except
- 0:38levator palpably superioris also supply
- 0:41the scalp muscle platysma stibedious
- 0:43muscle stylohyoid and posterior belly of
- 0:46the digestive muscle
- 0:48and its sensory function mainly the test
- 0:51sensation to the anterior two third of
- 0:53the tongue by its branch coda tympani
- 0:55and its secretomotor function to the
- 0:58lacrimal gland by the branch greater
- 1:01superficial petrosal now and to the
- 1:03salivary gland by the coda tympani
- 1:06branch
- 1:07now how will you assess the seventh
- 1:09cranial nerve function
- 1:10so first look at the facial symmetry
- 1:13when the child is in rest position or
- 1:16when the child is crying talking to you
- 1:18or smiling when any asymmetry is there
- 1:21then ask the child to look up for and
- 1:24then check the fold and wrinkles over
- 1:26the forehead
- 1:27child will not be able to wrinkle on the
- 1:30affected side in lower motor neurone
- 1:32facial pulsy
- 1:34then ask the child to close the eyes
- 1:37tightly
- 1:38child cannot close the affected eye
- 1:41and when child will try to close
- 1:44forcibly
- 1:45eyeballs rolls upward exposing the
- 1:48sclera it is known as bales phenomena
- 1:51this is the image of an adult who was
- 1:54having the facial nerve palsy and bale's
- 1:56phenomena is there
- 1:58i will share this link if you want to
- 2:00watch
- 2:01click this link in my description box
- 2:04tell the child to show the teeth if the
- 2:06child is having facial nerve palsy then
- 2:08the nasolabial fold will be flattened on
- 2:10the affected side
- 2:12and the drooping of mouth will occur
- 2:14also tell the child to blow or whistle
- 2:17if you find air leaks that means it is
- 2:20the paralyzed side also we have to tape
- 2:23the cheek when the child is blowing
- 2:26to see the air is leak from the
- 2:29paralyzed side or not
- 2:31after the assessment of the motor
- 2:32function we have to assess the test
- 2:35sensation on the anterior two third of
- 2:37the tongue
- 2:38which is supplied by the koda tympani
- 2:41branch
- 2:43first we have to tell the child to
- 2:45protrude the tongue and tongue should be
- 2:47protruded throughout the assessment
- 2:51tell the child whenever child is having
- 2:53the test sensation
- 2:55child should raise the finger
- 2:58and normal child perceive the test
- 3:00sensation within 10 second
- 3:02and order of the test
- 3:04we should test a sweet then salt then
- 3:08soar then the in last bitter test
- 3:12and
- 3:13we have to apply the test substance over
- 3:15the dorsal surface of the tongue at the
- 3:18junction of anterior and middle two
- 3:20third of the tongue
- 3:21we can use the earbud for the applying
- 3:24the test substance
- 3:26if the child is having lesion proximal
- 3:28to the origin of coda tympani it will
- 3:30lead to the lows of test sensation over
- 3:33the anterior two third of the tongue
- 3:35for the assessment of secreto motor
- 3:38function of the facial now we can
- 3:40perform the topo diagnostic test example
- 3:43shimmers test
- 3:45to compare the lacrimation in both the
- 3:47eyes
- 3:48in this we keep the strip of filter
- 3:50paper in the lower fornix of the both
- 3:53the eyes
- 3:54then
- 3:56amount of the waiting of the strip is
- 3:58measured
- 3:59so on the affected side lacrimation will
- 4:02be decreased
- 4:03for the assessment of salivation
- 4:05submandibular salivary flow test can be
- 4:08performed in topo diagnostic test
- 4:11then we should perform the corneal
- 4:12reflex as the efferent of corneal
- 4:14reflexes trisomy
- 4:17and efferent is facial now i have
- 4:19already explained the details of corneal
- 4:21reflex in my previous video on cranial
- 4:23nerve examination if the child is having
- 4:26facial nerve palsy then the blink
- 4:28response will not occur on the affected
- 4:31side now the difference between upper
- 4:33motor neurone and the lower motor
- 4:34neurone facial nerve palsy
- 4:37supranuclear lesion in the cortex
- 4:40internal capsule or brain stem
- 4:43lead to the upper motor neuron lesion
- 4:45while the
- 4:47nuclear and the infra nuclear lesion
- 4:49will lead to the lower motor neuron
- 4:52now palsy in upper motor neuron lesion
- 4:55opposite lower half of the face will be
- 4:57affected while in the lower motor neuron
- 4:59lesion same side of the upper and lower
- 5:02face both will be affected so in this
- 5:04picture you can see i have divided the
- 5:06face into the four quadrant into the
- 5:09right upper lower and left upper lower
- 5:11part of the face if the child is having
- 5:14right sided upper motor neuron lesion
- 5:17then the left lower face will be
- 5:19affected 4. if the child is having right
- 5:23sided lower motor neuron lesion then the
- 5:26right-sided
- 5:28entire face will be affected one and two
- 5:31and in left
- 5:33upper motor neuron lesion
- 5:35right-sided lower part of the face will
- 5:38be affected 2 and in left lower motor
- 5:41neuron lesion
- 5:43completely left sided ipsilateral side
- 5:46of the face will be affected 3 and 4.
- 5:49so in the upper motor neuron lesion
- 5:51forehead eyebrows eyelid musculature
- 5:54will be spared so the child will have
- 5:56the flattened nasolabial fold drooping
- 5:59of mouth in uml lesion
- 6:02while the entire face will be affected
- 6:04in element lesion ipsilaterally so the
- 6:07loss of wrinkle widened palpable fissure
- 6:10epiphora bales phenomena flattened
- 6:13nasolabial fold and drooping of mouth
- 6:16will occur
- 6:17ipsilaterally in element lesion upper
- 6:20part of the face is spared in uml lesion
- 6:23because supranuclear innervation
- 6:25is bilateral to the muscle of the
- 6:28forehead and eyes
- 6:29but only contralateral to the muscle of
- 6:32the lower part of the face
- 6:34in uml lesion there will be no facial
- 6:37muscle atrophy
- 6:39while in the element lesion facial
- 6:41muscle atrophy also occur
- 6:43in um in lesion voluntary facial
- 6:46movement will be affected in opposite
- 6:49lower half of the face
- 6:50but the emotional facial movements
- 6:52remain intact
- 6:54while in the element lesion both
- 6:56voluntary and the emotional facial
- 6:58movements will be affected
- 7:01phenomena will not be present in the uml
- 7:04lesion while it will be present in the
- 7:06element lesion corneal reflex will
- 7:09remain normal in uml lesion while it
- 7:12will be affected
- 7:13absent in the element lesion
- 7:16now clinical approach to the level of
- 7:19lesion in both upper motor neurone and
- 7:22the lower motor neuron lesions you can
- 7:24localize the anatomical level of the
- 7:27lesion
- 7:28by the characteristic clinical features
- 7:30and the associated dysfunctions
- 7:33first according to the finding of either
- 7:36upper motor neuron or lower motor
- 7:38neurone we can differentiate either the
- 7:40lesion in supranuclear or in the nuclear
- 7:43or infra nuclear so whenever there is a
- 7:46lesion in supranuclear
- 7:48means in the cortex or in the
- 7:50corticobulba tract through the corona
- 7:53radiator or internal capsule or cerebral
- 7:55peduncle or in the upper part of the
- 7:58pose
- 7:59will lead to the central facial nerve
- 8:01policy umn type
- 8:03whenever lesion is
- 8:05nuclear or infra nuclear
- 8:08it will lead to the peripheral facial
- 8:11nerve palsy element type
- 8:14now the level of lesion in central
- 8:16facial nerve pulsey if the lesion in
- 8:18cortex means the lower one-third of the
- 8:21contralateral pre-central gyrus in
- 8:23facial area which control the facial
- 8:25movements if the lesion is present at
- 8:27the level of cortex
- 8:29then the with facial now policy of umn
- 8:32type child will also have the other
- 8:35cortical sign
- 8:36example child may be having the
- 8:38convulsion or the altered level of
- 8:40consciousness
- 8:41etiology you have to suspect according
- 8:43to the onset and the progression if the
- 8:45child is having acute or sudden onset
- 8:48of the facial palsy with the cortical
- 8:50sign that means child may be having any
- 8:54infarct or hemorrhage in the cortex
- 8:56if onset is sub-acute and the disease is
- 9:00progressive
- 9:01that means may be exol
- 9:04intracranial space occupying lesions
- 9:06example tuberculoma neurocystic circuses
- 9:09or any other tumor
- 9:11as we know fiber of the facial area from
- 9:13pre central gyrus
- 9:15descend in cortico-bulbatract
- 9:18goes through corona radiator genome of
- 9:20internal capsule medial portion of
- 9:22cerebral padunkal
- 9:24then descend to the bones so if the
- 9:27child is having lesion in the corona
- 9:29radiator
- 9:31then child will have the
- 9:32hemiplegia or monoplagia of the
- 9:35epsilator side of the facial nerve palsy
- 9:38so if the child is having
- 9:41right-sided lesion in the brain
- 9:44then child will have the left-sided
- 9:46hemiplegia or monoplagia
- 9:49with left-sided facial neoparsy
- 9:52but the hemiplegia will not be the danes
- 9:55in lesion in corona radiata
- 9:58similar presentation will be there
- 10:00whenever lesion is present in internal
- 10:02capsule except hemiplegia will be dense
- 10:05in
- 10:06internal capsule lesion
- 10:09now if the lesion in upper part of the
- 10:11bones where the fibers are descending in
- 10:14the cortical pulver tract
- 10:16then the child will have the
- 10:19umn type of the facial nerve palsy with
- 10:22contralateral hemiplegia
- 10:24now the level of lesion in element type
- 10:26of the facial nerve pulsey so lesion
- 10:29either in the nuclear or in the infra
- 10:31nuclear area will lead to the
- 10:33element type of facial nerve palsy we
- 10:35label as a peripheral facial nervosa
- 10:38so the fiber of the cortical bulbatract
- 10:41from upper part of the sponge deco said
- 10:43to converge on the facial nucleus from
- 10:46the facial nucleus
- 10:48facial now arise it travels upward
- 10:50backward and around the
- 10:52nucleus of the cranial nerve 6.
- 10:55so whenever there is a lesion in the
- 10:57facial nucleus
- 10:59child will have the ipsilateral facial
- 11:01nerve palsy with the sixth cranial nerve
- 11:03palsy
- 11:04also having the contralateral hemiplegia
- 11:07due to the corticospinal fiber damage
- 11:10then cranial nerve seven leave the bones
- 11:12laterally and with the cranial nerve
- 11:14eighth crosses the cerebellar pontine
- 11:16angle so whenever lesion at this level
- 11:19child will have the eighth cranial nerve
- 11:22palsy also
- 11:23also the cerebellar signs will be there
- 11:26so the ipsilateral atexia
- 11:28will be present whenever lesion is
- 11:30present at the cerebellum pontine angle
- 11:33after crossing the cerebellopontine
- 11:35angle seventh grain will now enter into
- 11:37the internal acoustic meters from meatus
- 11:40to the genicular ganglion where it turns
- 11:43partially and form the first genu and
- 11:46from first genu greater superficial
- 11:48petrosal now arrives which supply the
- 11:50lacrimal grain and now to stapedius
- 11:52arise at the level of the second genome
- 11:54we supply the stapedius muscle
- 11:57and then coda tympani branch arise just
- 12:00proximal to the stylomestoid foramen we
- 12:03supply the test sensation to the
- 12:05anterior two-third of the tongue
- 12:07then after leaving the stylomastoid
- 12:09foramen it gives some muscular branches
- 12:12to the posterior auricular
- 12:14posterior belly of digestive and
- 12:16stylohyoid muscle
- 12:19then facial now enter into the parotid
- 12:21gland and divide into two main trunks
- 12:23gigomatico temporal and the cervical
- 12:26mandibular
- 12:27tzbmc
- 12:29temporal gigomatic
- 12:31buccal mandibular and the cervical
- 12:33muscular branches to supply the muscle
- 12:36of the face so if the lesion is present
- 12:40above the first genome
- 12:42then child will have the
- 12:44loss of lacrimation hyperacusis loss of
- 12:47test sensation to the anterior two-third
- 12:49of the tongue
- 12:50and ifc
- 12:51element type of the facial nerve pulsey
- 12:54if the lesion is present between the
- 12:56geniculate ganglion and the second
- 12:59genome then
- 13:00child will have the normal lacrimation
- 13:03hyperacusis will be there loss of test
- 13:05sensation will be there and the
- 13:07ipsilateral half of the face will be
- 13:10affected
- 13:11if the child is having the lesion after
- 13:14the origin of now twist ibds then
- 13:17stipedial reflex will be normal and
- 13:20electro emission will be normal but the
- 13:22test sensation will be affected and
- 13:25whole ipsilateral half of the face will
- 13:28be affected distal to stylo mastoid
- 13:30foramen or in the parotid gland then the
- 13:33lacrimation stapedial reflex and test
- 13:36sensation to the anterior two third of
- 13:38the tongue will be normal
- 13:40only the ipsilateral half of the face
- 13:42will be
- 13:43affected
- 13:45so this is all about the facial now
- 13:47examination
- 13:50in next video i will cover the rest of
- 13:52the cranial now thank you so much
