Examination of the body

Investigation of cranial nerves. VII pair: facial nerve (n. Facialis)

Investigation of the functions of the facial nerve begins with the evaluation of the symmetry of the patient's face at rest and with spontaneous facial expressions. Particular attention is paid to the symmetry of nasolabial folds and eye slits.

Investigation of cranial nerves. V pair: trigeminal nerve (n. Trigeminus)

The motor branches of the trigeminal nerve innervate the muscles that provide the movements of the lower jaw (chewing, temporal, lateral and medial pterygoids, maxillofacial, the anterior abdomen of the two-abdominal); muscle that strains the eardrum; muscle stretching the palatine curtain.

Investigation of cranial nerves. III, IV, VI pairs: oculomotor, block and distracting nerves

The oculomotor nerve contains motor fibers that innervate the medial, upper and lower rectus muscles of the eyeball, the lower oblique muscle and the muscle lifting the upper eyelid, as well as the vegetative fibers that, interrupted in the ciliary ganglion, innervate the inner smooth muscles of the eye-the pupil sphincter and the ciliary muscle .

Investigation of cranial nerves. II pair: optic nerve (n. Opticus)

Visual acuity is determined by ophthalmologists. To assess visual acuity in the distance use special tables with circles, letters, numbers. The standard table, used in Ukraine, contains 10-12 rows of signs (optotypes), the sizes of which are reduced from top to bottom by arithmetic progression. Vision is examined from a distance of 5 m, the table should be well lit.

Investigation of cranial nerves. I pair: olfactory nerve (n. Olfactorius)

The sense of smell is also checked in the presence of complaints of a violation of perception of odors, and without such, as often the patient himself does not realize that he has a sense of smell, but complains of a violation of taste (full taste sensations are possible only if the perception of food aromas is preserved) suspicion of a pathological process in the area of the anterior cranial fossa.

Electroneuromyography

Electroneuromyography is performed for the purpose of topical diagnosis and evaluation of the lesions of various departments of the peripheral neuromotor apparatus and determining the effectiveness of the current therapy for neuroinfections.

Electroencephalography

Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical waves characterized by a certain rhythm. When analyzing the EEG, attention is paid to the basal rhythm, symmetry of brain electrical activity, spike activity, response to functional tests. The diagnosis is based on the clinical picture.

ECG in pathology

The electrical activity of the atria is evaluated by the tooth P. This prong is normally positive (directed upwards) in most leads (except for the aVR lead).

Diagnosis of hearing loss in children

Identifying hearing loss and deafness in an adult is easy enough. Most of the methods used by them are based on the respondent's answers to the sounds of certain tones and frequencies, as well as speech, delivered by the tuning fork or through the headphones. The curve derived from these subjective responses characterizes the state of the auditory function.

Anoscopy

Anoscopy - examination of the anal canal and lower ampullar rectus with rectal mirrors - is of great importance for detecting hemorrhoids, differentiating true polyps from hypertrophied anal papillae.
