What is nerve damage and how is it treated?

Recently, I saw an article about mental injury on the Internet, and I would like to share it with you here. What exactly is nerve damage? How to deal with it? I think there are still many people who don’t know this. Brain nerve damage sounds like it is very far away from us, but the editor recently discovered that not only the elderly but also young people may suffer from nerve damage. If this happens, we have to deal with it ourselves. So how do we deal with this? Let’s take a look at it below.

Cranial nerve damage includes sequelae of cerebrovascular diseases such as brain trauma, cerebral arteriosclerosis (cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis), sequelae of encephalitis and meningitis, and demyelinating diseases. Specifically include: (1) Olfactory nerve injury often presents with ethmoid fracture or frontal-basal brain contusion, such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, partial or complete loss of olfactory sense on one or both sides. (2) Optic nerve injury is often accompanied by anterior and middle cranial fossa fractures involving the orbital apex and optic canal. (3) Injuries to the oculomotor, trochlear, abducens, and ophthalmic branches of the trigeminal nerves are often manifested by fractures of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone, petrous part of the temporal bone, and maxillofacial region. Patients with oculomotor nerve injuries may experience diplopia, ptosis, mydriasis, loss of light reflex, and downward deviation of the eyeball. (4) Injuries to the facial and auditory nerves often involve fractures of the petrous and foraminal processes of the temporal bone, and may present with facial paralysis, loss of taste in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue on the same side, keratitis, tinnitus, vertigo, and sensorineural hearing loss at different times after injury. (5) Injury to the glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, and hypoglossal nerves rarely occurs, but occipital fractures are common. Symptoms include difficulty in swallowing and disappearance of pharyngeal reflex.
