I think my patient has a cranial nerve palsy. What do I do next?
9th June 2020
Overview
Cranial examination is fun to learn and practice, but what should you do when you identify a cranial nerve palsy? In this webinar, we will revise cranial nerve anatomy, use a surgical sieve to consider causes and diagnoses, and think about how we’d investigate and manage patients with cranial nerve palsies. This is essential information for ENT and neurosurgery, but also has wider implications. Whilst skull base lesions are rare, identifying them is important in all surgical specialties.
