Cranial Nerve X Examination Upper Ganglion Branch – Supplies Palatal Levator
ОглавлениеOral view of palate:
–Observe midline pulling lateral during /ah/
–Observe indentation in soft palate during /ah/
Nasal view of palate:
–Both sides can be seen from one nasal passage
–Normal elevation is complete without air leak during plosives (/pa/, /ka/, /ta/) and fricatives (/sh/, /th/)
–Abnormal elevation is incomplete
–One side lack of complete elevation – gap – especially if viewed from pathway over the middle turbinate
–Bubbles from secretions during phonation – plosives and fricatives
–Can use endoscope as occlusive test – during whistling – knowing diameter of scope
–Also helps patient to realize the extent of injury – often the loss of voice is most obvious injury and may cover up symptoms of nasal leak which can then later become very noticeable after any laryngeal correction
