what is bilateral axillary adenopathy?
In the medical sense bulky is used to describe lymph nodes that aren't just palpable (able to be felt with gentle massage of fingertips), they are obvious and large.
Bilateral means both sides.
The Axillar is the medical term for the armpit.
Adenopathy is the inflammation/swelling of lymph nodes caused by infection or other disease processes.
Therefore most common situation to find this description in would be a Breast cancer patient with nodal spread to the axillar chain on both sides. The prognosis would therefore not be as good as a localised tumour, but surgury and radiotherapy combined could still radically treat it with luck.

What does bilateral innervation of cranial nerves mean?
Cranial nerves that have a motor function tend to be bilaterally innervated. In other words, the right accessory nerve (XI) receives input from both the right and the left motor cortex. The same goes for the left accessory nerve.This is a handy advantage in strokes, since upper motor neurone lesions must therefore be bilateral in order to cause a deficit.The one major exception to this rule is the facial nerve (VII). Only the forehead muscles are bilaterally innervated, so even a unilateral upper motor neurone lesion can cause mouth drooping, etc. However, this can still often be differentiated from a lower motor neurone lesion, which will not spare the forehead.
