Damage to the Cranial Nerves: Consequences and Treatment Options Read the following article to understand the consequences and treatment options for cranial nerve damage. slide 1 of 5. Sensory Function Nerves Cranial nerves (CN) I, II and VIII are primarily sensory related. CN I, the olfactory nerve, carries information regarding smell from the nose to the brain. Loss of the sense of smell may indicate damage to CN I, such as from a tumor, known as an olfactory groove meningioma, according to Mayfield.

Facial nerve paralysis Facial nerve paralysis is characterised by unilateral facial weakness, with other symptoms including loss of taste, hyperacusis, and decreased salivation and tear secretion. Other signs may be linked to the cause of the paralysis, such as vesicles in the ear, which may occur if the facial palsy is due to shingles.

Chiari FAQ's Because Chiari involves the nervous system, symptoms can be numerous and varied. In fact, one large study showed that the vast majority of Chiari patients reported 5 or more symptoms, and 49 distinct symptoms were reported by 2 or more patients. Despite this variety, the most common Chiari symptom, and the hallmark of the disease, is a headache.

- Symptoms of cranial nerve disorders depend on which nerves are damaged and how they were damaged. Cranial nerve disorders can affect smell, taste, vision, sensation in the face, facial expression, hearing, balance, speech, swallowing, and muscles of the neck. For example, vision may be affected in various ways: 1  If one of the 2nd cranial nerves (optic nerve) is damaged, the affected eye is blind. 2  If any of the three cranial nerves that control eye movement (3rd, 4th, or 6th cranial nerve) is damaged, people cannot move their eyes normally.

Damage, paralysis, ect to a Cranial nerve Damage to the cochlear nerve or its receptors results in central or nerve deafness. Damage to the vestibular nerve causes dizziness, rapid involuntary eye movements, loss of balance, nausea and vomiting. Injury or inflammation of this nerve compromises swallowing and taste. Vagus nerve paralysis can lead to hoarseness/loss of voice, difficulty swallowing, impaired digestive system motility.

Human Physiology/Print Version 1 Olfactory Nerve (Cranial Nerve I) - Anosmia (loss of the sense of smell), hyposmia (a decreased sense of smell), parosmia (a perversion of the sense of smell), or cacosmia (awareness of a disagreeable or offensive odor that does not exist) are common following TBI. Trochlear Nerve (Cranial Nerve IV) - Injury to the trochlear nerve can cause vertical diplopia on looking downward which improves with contralateral head tilt and worsens with ipsilateral head tilt. 2  Abducens Nerve (Cranial Nerve VI) - In a complete injury of the abducens nerve, the affected eye is turned medially.

Auditory Nerve Damage Because damage occurs gradually, the cumulative effect of exposure to loud noises may not result in hearing loss until later in life. Early symptoms of auditory nerve damage may involve hearing or balance problems as the auditory system communicates information concerning sound and body positioning to the brain. Symptoms include tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss, dizziness, or vertigo with or without vomiting and nausea.
