What bone contains the cribriform plate?
A fractured cribriform plate can result in cerebrospinal fluid leaking into the nose and loss of sense of smell.
When an intact ligament is traumatically stretched what will commonly result?
I'm guessing an avulsion fracture. It's when a ligament tears off part of a bone.
What happens when you damage the reticular formation in the brain?
damage to the Reticular Formation can result in prolonged coma, minor epilepsy, or narcolepsy.
Damage to the genetic material in your skin cells can result in a serious disease called?
Osteoparosis
Physical damage to the lamina propria of the nasal mucosa is likely to result in?
epistaxis or nosebleeds
A fracture of the ethmoid bone would result in damage to which cranial nerve?
Olfactory nerve. Olfactory nerve fibers arise from olfactory receptor cells located in olfactory epithelium of nasal cavity and pass through cribriform plate of ethmoid bone to synapse in olfactory bulb.
Damage to which cranial nerve can result in death?
vagus nerve
What bone contains the cribriform plate?
A fractured cribriform plate can result in cerebrospinal fluid leaking into the nose and loss of sense of smell.
What are the risks of surgery to removie an acoustic neuroma?
stroke, damage to the brain stem, infection, leakage of spinal fluid and damage to the cranial nerves. Hearing loss and/or tinnitis often result from the surgery
When does a non-union fracture result?
A non-union fracture may result when a fracture does not heal, such as in the case of an elderly person or an individual with medical complications
Which type of fracture occurs as the result of a severe twisting motion?
A spiral fracture.
If you have a stress fracture are you put into a cast?
Stress fracture in ArmA stress fracture within the arm will most likely result in a cast or a removable splint.Stress fracture in LegA stress fracture within the leg will usually result in a walking boot and crutches if it is extremely painful.
What symptoms may occur when an acoustic neuroma presses on the surrounding cranial nerves?
Compression of the fifth cranial nerve can result in facial pain and or numbness. Compression of the seventh cranial nerve can cause spasms, weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles
Can a fracture of spinal cord result in death?
I dont think so but it can result in full body paralysis.
Is a compound fracture a fracture where the bone is broken into many fragments?
depends on the point of impact and the speeed but no it does not always result in a compound fracture
What are the risks of Radiation therapy when treating acoustic neuromas?
can cause hearing loss which can sometimes occurs even years later. Radiation therapy can also cause damage to neighboring cranial nerves, which can result in symptoms such as numbness, pain or paralysis of the facial muscles
Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.
