LectureObjectives • Discuss briefly how the face isdeveloped. • Follow up the course of trigeminal nerve from its point of central connections, exit and down to its targetareas. • Describe briefly important cranial reflexes involving the face and trigeminal nerve.
Development of the Face: Premordia andderivatives • Swellings surroundingstomodeum • Mandibular prominences(paired) • Softtissue • Bone • Maxillary prominences(paired) • Softtissue • Bone • Secondarypalate • Frontonasal prominence(unpaired) • Softtissue • Bone
Development of the Face: Premordia andderivatives • Nasal placodes – nasalpits • Medial nasal prominences • Fleshy nasalseptum • Intermaxillarysegment • Philtrum • Premaxilla, jaw and gingiva associated with upper incisorteeth • Primary palate = median palatine process • Lateral nasalprominences • Softtissue • Bone • Nasolacrimalgroove • Labiogingivallaminae
Development of thePalate • Primary palate (median palatine process) • Secondary palate – lateral palatineprocesses • Fusion → secondarypalate
Malformations: Cleft Lip andPalate • Incisive fossa separates anterior and posterior parts • Anterior clefts – unilateral (E) or bilateral(F) • Complete vs.incomplete • Posterior clefts–unilateral (C) or bilateral(D) • Complete vs.incomplete • Causes of palateclefts • Failure of fusion between different prominences andprocesses • Cleft lip (with (E‐H) or without cleftpalate) • 1/1000, 75%males • Maxillary with medial nasalprominences • Cleft palate (with (E‐H)or without (C‐D) cleft lip) • 1/2500, ⅔females • Lateral palatine processes with each other & with nasal septum & with median palatineprocess • Primary palate clefts(E‐F) • Secondary palate clefts(C‐D) • Primary and secondary palate clefts(G‐H)
Malformations: Facialclefts • Oblique (orbitofacial fissure)(E) • Maxillary with lateralnasal prominences • Lateral (macrostomia) • Mandibular with maxillary prominences • Median(A) • Between medialnasal prominences
Trigeminal Nerve(V) • Mixed nerve • Largest of the cranialnerves • Threebranches: • Ophthalmic nerve (GSA) ← superior orbital fissure • Maxillary nerve (GSA)← foramen rotundum ← pterygopalatine fossa • Mandibular nerve (GSA, SVE) ← foramen ovale ← infratemporal fossa trigeminal ganglion Pons
Trigeminal Nerve(V) • Emerges from two roots on the ventrolateral surface of thepons • The large sensory root (GSA) ‐ trigeminal ganglion in the trigeminal cave of the duramatter • The small motor root (SVE) originates from the pons pass beneath theganglion • Join the mandibular branchfor • mastication
Trigeminal NerveNuclei • Motor nucleus of trigeminal nerve(SVE) • Location –pons • Connections • Cortex • Reticular formation, red nucleus,tectum • Fibers course
Trigeminal Nerve SensoryNuclei • Main sensory nucleus(GSA) • Touch & pressure • Location,Extention • Relation to • Motornucleus • Spinalnucleus • Spinal nucleus*(GSA) • Pain & tempreture • Location • Extentions • Medulla –C2 • Somatotopicorganisation • Ophthalmic – mostcaudal • Mandibular – mostrostral • *receive GSA from other cranial nerves • Mesencephalic nucleus(GSA) • Proprioception • Location,Extension
Trigeminal Nerve SensoryNuclei • 1st orderneurons • Trigeminal ganglion • 2nd orderneurons • Trigeminal nerve sensory nuclei • Central axons crossmidline • Form trigeminallemniscus • 3rd orderneurons • VPM nucleus ofthalamus • Internal capsule
Maxillary Nerve:Branches • Menengialbranches • Zygomatic branch – inferior orbital fissure • Zygomaticotemporal n.‐ • Zygomaticotemporalforamen • Zygomaticofacial n. ‐ Zygomaticofacial foramen • Posterior superior alveolar n.– • posterior superior alveolarforamen • Infraorbital nerve – inferior orbital fissure – infraorbital groove – infraorbitalforamen • Middle superior alveolarn. • Anterior superior alveolarn.
Maxillary Nerve:Branches • Ganglionic branches (pterygopalatinenerves) • Greater &lesser palatine nn. – Greater & lesser palatine canals/foramens • Nasal branches (posterior superior lateral, posterior superior medial, & nasopalatine nn.) – sphenopalatineforamen • Pharyngeal branch – pharyngeal canal
Mandibular Nerve:Branches • Meningeal branch– • foramenspinosum • Nerve to medialpterygoid • Anteriordivision • Massetericn. • Deep temporalnn. • Nerve to lateralpterygoid • Buccalnerve
Mandibular Nerve:Branches • Posteriordivision • Auriculotemporaln. • Relations – TMJ, middle menengeal a. • Lingualn. • Relations – submandibularduct • Inferior alveolar n. – mandibular foramen • Mylohyoid n. (GSE) • Mental n. – mentalforamen
Ophthalmic Nerve:Branches • Superior orbitalfissure • Frontalnerve • Scalp • Branches: • Supraorbital & Supratochlearnn. • Lacrimalnerve • Lateral part of uppereyelid • Carry parasympathetic fibers to lacrimal gland via zygomaticotemporalnerve
Ophthalmic Nerve:Branches • Nasociliary nerve‐Branches: • Comunicating branch to ciliary ganglion‐ sensory fibers from short ciliarynn. • Long ciliary nn.‐ carry sympathetic fibers (dilator pupillaem.) • Posterior ethmoidal n. (ethmoid & sphenoidsinuses) • Anterior ethmoidaln. • External nasal branch (tip ofnose) • Infratrochlear n. (medial part of upper eyelid & part ofnose)
Trigeminal Nerve (V):Lesion • Loss of general sensation (hemianesthesia) from face and oral & nasalcavities • Loss of corneal reflex (V1) (afferentlimb) • Paralysis of the muscles ofmastication • Deviation of the mandible to the weakside • Paralysis of the tensor tympani muscle – partial deafness to low‐pitchedsounds • Trigeminalneuralgia • Test • Sensory – by touching face using cottonball • Motor – by assisting masticatory muscles (masseter & temporalis) onclenching
