Cranial Nerve Examination - Horse

The cranial nerves are numbered 1-12 from the most rostral to the most caudal. A systematic examination of the cranial nerves can aid accurate identification of the site of a lesion. Cranial Nerve I is the olfactory nerve. Abnormalities are rarely detected in this nerve.

-* The hypoglossal nerve, CN XII provides motor innervation to the [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]].
-* Normally, a horse resists the [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] being retracted from the mouth.
-** The horse will quickly return the tongue after it is pulled out to the side.
-* Horses with hypoglossal weakness appear differently.
-** The [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] may protrude from the mouth.
-** Chronic unilateral hypoglossal lesions may result in unilateral tongue atrophy.
-** Bilateral hypoglossal lesions may result in difficulty prehending food.
-* Horses with cerebral dysfunction may have signs corresponding to tongue weakness.
-** However, [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] atrophy is not present in these animals.
