Neurology and Historical Studies

Examination of the cranial nerves is an integral and important part of a complete neurological examination. Historically, these skills were crucial for diagnosing specific lesions. With the development of modern imaging modalities, the significance of clinical examination techniques has perhaps been undermined. The authors present an overview of each cranial nerve with a concise summary of examination techniques. Clin. Anat. 27:25–30, 2014. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
