AB  - Clinical  testing  of  cranial  nerves  is  quick  and  yields  valuable  information.  Formal  assessment  of  cranial  nerve  function  is  important  for  clinical  diagnosis  as  well  as  tracking  therapeutic  progress  after  nervous  system  damage.  Injury  produces  classic  presentations  based  on  the  laterality  of  the  lesion  and  the  anatomic  distribution  of  long  pathways  and  CN  nuclei  at  the  injury  site,  allowing  for  precise  localization  of  the  damage  based  on  clinical  findings.  Clinical  assessment  of  cranial  nerve  function  requires  practice  and  a  solid  understanding  of  what  is  normal.  A  thorough  examination  includes  observation  for  facial  or  postural  asymmetry,  and  listening  for  difficulty  with  speech.  These  initial  observations  inform  the  selection  of  specific  follow  up  questions  regarding  difficulty  with  basic  function  including  vision,  hearing,  balance,  eating,  and  speech  production.
