Cranial Nerve Assessment: V. Trigeminal

Examination type

Neurological

Patient & Body Segment Positioning

Patient need to be in a comfortable position sitting or standing

Examiner Position

The examiner needs to be anterior to (in front of) the patient

Performing the Test

Have the patient close his eyes, and ask him to identify between hard and soft by scraping an object across the face gently (ex. the cotton end v. the wooden end of a cotton tipped applicator). Next have the patient open his eyes and gently move your fingers towards one of the eyes to check for corneal reflex. Next, ask the patient to open his mouth while you resist at the jaw. Ask the patient to grit his teeth.

Tissues Being Tested

Cranial nerve V. Trigeminal nerve

Positive Test

Inability to discriminate between objects; lack of sensation in face; no or slow corneal reflex; weak jaw motions

Interpretation

Intracranial involvement
