Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there!!!
Just because you don’t see all cranial nerves on MRI doesn’t mean they aren’t there!
You must know their anatomy so you know when pathology might affect them.
Here is a figure w/the anatomy you NEED to know!
➡️Just remember this easy rule of four from Peter Gates:
There are:
🔸 4 cranial nerves from above the pons (including 2 from the midbrain)
🔸4 from the pons
🔸And 4 from the medulla oblongata!
Now you won't have be nervous when it comes to this nerve anatomy!
