Background:
Cranial nerves damages are very important in clinical neuropediatry. Differential diagnosis is very complicated and difficult because of variety of cranial nerves and causes of neuropathies. Functional senses disturbances, and also motor, sensory and vegetative disorders are caused by neuropathies. Paretic symptoms are commonly diagnosed, but also sometimes isolated cranial nerves pareses are seen.
The Aim Of The Study:
was to recall the value of differential diagnosis in cranial neuropathies for early assessment of very complicated diseases of the head and neck and for early proper therapy.
Methods:
The causes of neuropathies are performed into 10 tables, others causes are described in the paper. Congenital and genetic factors of cranial neuropathies and their clinical effects are discussed. The authors described also acquired local and systemic neuropathies in the aspect of diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities. The specific signs of cranial nerves damages are also performed.
Conclusion:
Deepening of knowledge in the aspect of etiopathogenesis and clinical signs of cranial neuropathies combined with new therapeutic methods should improve the proper follow up of these disorders.
