What else can I help you with?
A fracture of the ethmoid bone could 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
Which type of Le Fort fracture is likely to result in cerebrospinal fluid leakage?
A Le Fort II or Le Fort III fracture is more likely to result in cerebrospinal fluid leakage due to the involvement of the maxilla and ethmoid bones, which can disrupt the cribriform plate and dura mater leading to communication with the nasal cavity and potential leakage of cerebrospinal fluid.
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
What bone contains the cribriform plate?
The ethmoid bone contains the cribriform plate, which is a delicate, sieve-like structure located in the roof of the nasal cavity. It forms a part of the ethmoid bone and allows for the passage of olfactory nerves from the nasal cavity to the brain.
Which type of fracture occurs as the result of a severe twisting motion?
A spiral fracture.
What region of Roberts brain was affected by the cranial blow?
The frontal lobe of Robert's brain was affected by the cranial blow. This area is responsible for cognitive functions such as decision making, problem solving, and emotional control. Damage to this region can result in changes in behavior and personality.
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.
Which of the crainal nerves are involved in blindness?
Blindness can be caused by damage to the optic nerve (cranial nerve II), which is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. Damage or dysfunction of the optic nerve can result in partial or complete blindness.
Why fracture in femur is dangerous?
The femoral artery runs right along the femur. A fracture in the femur might damage the artery leading to massive internal bleeding, as the femoral artery is one of the largest arteries in your body.
What part of bone was fractured to cause loss of smell?
A fracture involving the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone can result in loss of smell. The cribriform plate is a thin, porous structure in the skull that separates the nasal cavity from the brain and contains the olfactory nerves responsible for transmitting smell signals. If this structure is damaged, it can disrupt the olfactory pathway and lead to anosmia (loss of smell).
