| '''''Synonyms and keywords:''''' cranial nerve palsy, cranial nerve disorder
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Cranial nerve disease''' is a term used to describe an impaired functioning of one of the twelve [[cranial nerves]]. This results in loss of control of facial muscles, erratic movements of the face muscles, or spastic jerks of the face muscles.
| |
| | |
| ==Pathophysiology==
| |
| It is possible for a disorder of more than cranial nerve to occur at the same time, if a trauma occurs at a location where many cranial nerves run together, such as the [[jugular fossa]]. A brainstem lesion could also cause impaired functioning of multiple cranial nerves, but this condition would likely also be accompanied by distal motor impairment.

| ==Causes==
| |
| *[[Diabetes]]
| |
| *Facial [[trauma]]
| |
| *[[Hypertension]]
| |
| *[[Iatrogenic]] damage during surgery
| |
| *[[Meningitis]]

| *[[Multiple sclerosis]]
| |
| | |
| ==Diagnosis==
| |
| ===Symptoms===
| |
| The patient may complain of difficulty smiling, drooping of the face, problems curling their lips, problems controlling eye movements or problems coordinating other facial expressions.
