  1. Incidental findings on brain MRI. Arrows indicate abnormalities. Vernooij MW et al. (2007) NEJM 357: 1821-1828. • Aneurysm of anterior communicating artery (6 mm diameter; proton-density–weighted axial image). • Tonsillar herniation (type I Chiari malformation) more than 5 mm below level of foramen magnum (T1-weighted sagittal image). • Typical vestibular schwannoma with extension into right internal auditory canal (proton-density–weighted axial image). • Large meningioma (T1-weighted axial image). • Large, chronic subdural hematoma (proton-density–weighted axial image). • Trigeminal schwannoma of the left fifth cranial nerve, with cystic degeneration(T1-weighted axial image).

Cranial Nerve and Reflex Testing Cranial Nerve Exams http://library.med.utah.edu/neurologicexam/html/cranialnerve_normal.html http://library.med.utah.edu/neurologicexam/html/cranialnerve_abnormal.html Notice: 3,4,6 versions, normal & abnormal1 3,4,6 ductions, abnormal2 Vestibulo-ocular normal (tests 3, 8) 12 normal, abnormal Reflexes Normal Babinski: http://library.med.utah.edu/neurologicexam/html/motor_normal.html#10 Normal Babinski (infant): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3102473882446365023&pr=goog-sl Positive Babinski (adult): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWKTrUjxkqs 1. Versions: binocular tests, part of a regular exam. Pt. 1 can’t abduct L, i.e. n.6 (L) palsy. Pt.2 limited adduct, elevate, depress L eye, also shows ptosis & dilated pupil, i.e. n.3 (L) palsy. 2. Duction (monocular) tests done iff version results abnormal. Pt can’t medially rotate either eye. Movies from the Neurologic Exam and PediNeurologic Exam websites by Paul D.
