Tips: Cranial Nerves Lesions: Cranial Nerve 5: Cranial Nerve 8

This document provides tips on lesions of various cranial nerves and their associated symptoms, including jaw deviation and sensory changes for CN5, lateralization of hearing loss for CN8, uvula deviation and palate mobility for CN10, head and shoulder weakness for CN11, and tongue deviation for CN12. It also cautions that while opioids can cause altered mental status in elderly patients with pain, other potential causes of delirium should be considered, especially in those who previously tolerated opioids well.
