Abstract

Cranial nerve (CN) disorders are commonly encountered in pediatric practice, since they are related to vision, eye movements, hearing and speech, facial sensation and movements, and swallowing. Localization is an important consideration in the management of these disorders, as well as the knowledge of the various diseases that cause cranial nerve dysfunction. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, which are numbered based on the order in which they emerge from the brain (including the brainstem), front to back (i.e., their rostral-caudal [front-back] position when viewing the brain). The first two cranial nerves (olfactory [CN I] and optic [CN II]) arise from the cerebrum, whereas the remaining ten emerge from the brainstem.
