Cranial Nerve Examination - Deep Dive - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill
The cranial nerve deep dive obviously starts with cranial nerve I. The olfactory nerve is your sense of smell, over this series of videos I'll be covering what most people have asked for, additional information on:
- The normal function of each cranial nerve
- How / why any special tests are performed
- crucially what is being looked at during each step of the examination.

I'm hoping to have this whole series finished this week - it was previously going to be delivered as a single video, but I think it would be more useful for people to be able to jump in and out to the various nerves they are wanting extra information on
Keep dropping the comments, and I'm really grateful for all the improvements people are suggesting, which is helping this channel to evolve - THANK YOU

Please note that there is no ABSOLUTE way to perform a clinical examination. Different institutions and even clinicians will have differing degrees of variations - the aim is the effectively identify medically relevant signs.
Different medical schools, nursing colleges and other health professional courses will have their own preferred approach to a clinical assessment - you should concentrate on THEIR marks schemes for your assessments.

My dad also had a head injury after being knocked down by a car. Totally lost the sense of smell. He couldn't taste his food properly, didn't like it. He'd literally have a conversation whilst adding salt n pepper to his food. It would be a layer of salt n pepper you could barely see food underneath. Couldn't really identify sour. Hadn't liked spicy food but would add chilli flakes in a layer too. Said he could barely taste it with that much salt/pepper/chilli on there. I'd never quite understood how he'd lost the entire sense....but now I get it!!
I actually get much from these videos. I'm not in the medical field, but I love learning. I've also noticed the manner in which I speak with people has started to sound reminiscent of Dr Gill. It puts people at ease when they know you are interested in their comfort and well being by your tone, mannerisms, and clear communication.
I'm currently in my neurology rotation and I'll have the practical exam in less than 2 weeks so you couldn't be more precise with this video. Mulțumesc, dr. Gill! That means 'thank you' in my language! 😇

Great video! My problem with hearing is a result of auditory processing disorder so it’s my brain that has the trouble processing and interpreting the sounds in a timely manner, especially in noisy environments, because I hear everything and don’t filter out background noise so my hearing is actually too good almost if that makes sense, lol. So even though I have trouble processing speech I usually pass tests like these with flying colors, fascinating stuff!
Been watching your videos for years now. I don't really know what to say..except thanks.
I always learn something from your videos, Doc. Thank you for making these!
Excellent video as always. I enjoy these on different levels, I like the asmr aspect but as a first aider I’ve found I’ve picked up a multitude of things I’ve picked up along the way to help me
An interesting presentation, as always. I couldn't stop myself from laughing when he asked the patient to make faces. I would hate that part of the exam; I'd be too self-conscious. Then again, I'd have problems with many parts of the exam. I dislike being touched. Fortunately, I've never had and cannot believe that I'd never need to take this type of test.

Hi Doc, is there any chance you can help us to understand a typical blood/lipid panel result. Never know how to read those things.
Nah, this is just wonderful in all aspects.
The blind spot test is very intriguing.
Neurologic field defects respect the vertical meridian dont they? For instance a chiasmal compressive lesion will cause a bitemporal defect that will first be detected by checking the visual field on either side of the vertical , and will be missed by checking way out in the periphery. Similarly with an early hemianopia , the first defect will be noted by checking the visual fields next to the vertical meridian . Sparing of the temporal crescent also complicates visual field testing, the way you do it. Also, small hemianopic defects caused by small infarcts in the ooccipital lobe will be missed if you test the visual fields the way you do. Therefore visual field testing should begin by checking on either side of the vertical meridian. rather than testing far out in the periphery.
