  1. Jul 25, 2023 · The trigeminal nerve is a mixed cranial nerve that has both sensory and motor functions. There are three divisions of the trigeminal nerve: Ophthalmic division (CN V1 or Va), Maxillary division (CN V2 or Vb), Mandibular division (CN V3 or Vc). The acronym MOM can be used to recall the three branches of the trigeminal nerve.

  2. Jul 2, 2023 · The trigeminal nerve, CN V, is the fifth paired cranial nerve. It is also the largest cranial nerve. In this article, we shall look at the anatomical course of the nerve, and the motor, sensory and parasympathetic functions of its terminal branches.

  3. The three major branches of the trigeminal nerve—the ophthalmic nerve (V 1), the maxillary nerve (V 2) and the mandibular nerve (V 3)—converge on the trigeminal ganglion (also called the semilunar ganglion or gasserian ganglion), located within Meckel's cave and containing the cell bodies of incoming sensory-nerve fibers.

  4. Apr 20, 2024 · Trigeminal neuralgia is a clinical condition characterized by sharp, electrical, shock-like, paroxysmal lancinating pain within the distribution of one or more trigeminal nerve branches. Most cases are due to trigeminal nerve compression at the root entry zone by the superior cerebellar artery.

  5. The Trigeminal Nerve is the fifth cranial nerve. It is also represented as CN V. It is the largest of all the cranial nerves. It is the most complex of all the cranial nerves due to it's extensive anatomic course. This nerve is a mixed nerve - having both sensory and motor fibres.

  6. Jun 14, 2021 · The trigeminal nerve has three branches that perform distinct functions: Ophthalmic: This branch sends nerve impulses from the upper part of your face and scalp to your brain. Ophthalmic refers to the eye.

  7. Apr 10, 2019 · The trigeminal nerve roots. Both motor and sensory components of the trigeminal nerve complex exit the ventral mid-pons as distinct nerves. The larger, more medial nerve is the trigeminal sensory root; and a smaller, more lateral nerve is the trigeminal motor root named portio minor (the minor
