Cranial Nerve I:
Olfactory
Bulbus
olfactorius
Foramen: cribiform
plate of ethmoid
Region Entered:
nasal cavity
Components:
special sensory
Target: olfactory
epithelium
Function: smell
50 million primary sensory receptor cells in 2.5 cm2
Bipolar
cells
Second neurons:
First neurons: Unmyelinated
8-20 cilia of 30-200  in length
The mucous lipids assist in transporting the
odorant molecules as only volatile materials
soluble in the mucous, can interact with the
olfactory receptors & produce the signals that our
brain interprets as odor
60  thick layer of mucous (lipid- rich
secretion that bathes the surface of the
receptors at the epithelium surface)
Lateral stria
anterior olfactory nucleus
pyriform cortex
olfactory tubercle
transitional entorhinal cortex
nucleus of horizontal limb of diagonal band
Medial stria
Olfactory Tract Connections& Lesion
 Lateral stria

 Medial stria
cross the anterior commisure to
join contralateral olfactory bulb
Unilateral anosmia : Compression due to abcess, glioma,
meningioma of frontal lob or hypothalamus which may
result in ipsilateral optic atropy & contralateral papilledema
Foster-Kennedy syndrome
Cranial Nerve II:
Opticus
Foramen: optic
canal of sphenoid
Region Entered:
orbit
Components:
special sensory
Target, Function:
retina-vision
1st neurone: rod & cone cells of the
retina
2nd neurone: bipolar neurones of the
retina
3rd neurone: multipolar neurones of
the retina
Axons of the ganglion opticum run
via the N. opticus to the chiasma
In the chiasma opticum, fibres of the
nasal part of the retina cross to the
contralateral side, and those of the
temporal part continue ipsilaterally
Each tractus opticus consists of
fibres transporting the information
from the contralateral halves of the
visual field
corpus geniculatum
laterale&mediale (some fibres),
hypothalamus
go directly to the
cortex of the brain
4th neurone: corpus geniculatum
laterale
areas 17&18 around the
sulcus calcarinus (area striata)
Acute right homonymous hemianopsia in a 59-year-old man due to
embolus in the left PCA. (A) MRI shows infarction in the medial left
occipital lobe (arrow). (B) Occlusion of the left PCA at its origin
(arrow) by an embolus (DSA, left vertebral artery, AP view). (C) The
capillary phase (arrow) is absent in the left occipital lobe due to the
proximal embolus.
Causes of Papillitis&Retrobulbar Neuritis
 Multiple sclerosis
 Viral illness; Syphilis
 Temporal arteritis & other kinds of
inflammation of the arteries (vasculitis)
 Poisoning by chemicals: lead, methanol...
 Tumors that have spread to the optic n.
 Allergic reactions to beestings

THIRD CRANIAL NERVE PALSIES
During primary gaze, weakness of
the muscles innervated by, result in:
 Ptosis of the lid
 Mydriasis
 Outwardly turned eye
Pupil is completely spared:
• Myopathy
• but all other muscles innervated by the
3rd nerve are affected: diabetic 3rd
nerve paresis (ischemic process)
Fixed dilated pupils: 3rd nerve compression
- Aneurysm of the post. communicating art
- Trauma
- Intracranial mass lesion
- Increasingly unresponsive patient with
3rd n. palsy: transtentorial herniation

From hypothalamus, sympathetic nn. descend
ipsilat. through the brainstem & cervical cord & riches
