BELLS PALSY Paralyzed Side Normal Side 1)eye unable to close 1) eye voluntarily closed 2) no wrinkles 2) wrinkles present 3) facial muscles flabby & 3) Normal muscles pull face paralyzed to normal side 4) Corner of mouth lower 4) Corner of mouth normal

Muscle SR & IO IR & SO LR MR

Direction Up (Elevation) Down (Depression) Lateral Medially

LR6 (SO4) 3

CN III.Occulomotor Nerve Lesion gives you a lateral squint, because 5 muscles lost. 1)LPS- innervates upper eyelid, since it is lost gives tossis. 2)SR 3)IR 4)IO 5)MR depression of eyeball works because SO still works (CN 4) and LR (CN6) Lateral or Abduction still works. puplillary dilation no reflex to light no accommodation to light Diplopia- Double vision Exothalomos CN VI.Abducens Nerve Lesion(LR6) Lateral Rectus paralysis will cause eye to be pointed inwards (medially) unable to move laterally This will cause Diplopia (double vision) and patient will rotate head in order to restore correct visual field. (Head turned to side of Lesion) medial squint or medial strabismus Example) On right side, if there is a medial squint, patient will turn to right to compensate. IV.Trochelar Nerve Lesion (SO4) no visible squint involuntary movement of the eye, only when patient looks down, since there 2 muscles for depression (down direction) IR & SO but SO is not functioning, the 2 muscles for elevation (up direction) SR & IO are going to be stronger.
