Study Notes

Sensory Disorders

  • Anosmia: inability to smell or identify correct scents
  • Ageusia: loss of taste functions, inability to detect sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and umami

Visual Defects

  • Blindness: loss of vision, damage to optic nerve
  • Anopsias: visual defect, damage to visual pathway
  • Strabismus: constant malalignment of the eye from its axis
  • Nystagmus: rapid involuntary rhythmic eye movement
  • Absence of Corneal Reflex: may indicate deep lesion in the parietal lobe

Cranial Nerve Disorders

  • Tic Douloureux (Trigeminal Neuralgia): severe, stabbing pain to one side of the face
  • Bell's Palsy: condition in which muscles on one side of the face become weak or paralyzed

Muscular Disorders

  • Torticollis (Wry Neck): asymmetrical head or neck position
  • Asymmetric Muscle Contraction: paralysis of muscle weakness due to neck injury or torticollis

Sensory Processing Disorders

  • Agnosia: inability to process sensory information
  • Anesthesia: absence of touch sensation (numbness)
  • Hyperesthesia: increased sensitivity to touch
  • Hypoesthesia: decreased sensitivity to touch
  • Paresthesia: needle-like sensation
  • Analgesia: absence of pain reaction
  • Hypalgesia: decreased sensitivity to pain
  • Hyperalgesia: increased sensitivity to pain

Visual Defects

  • Anopsia: a visual defect caused by damage to the visual pathway

Eye Abnormalities

  • Strabismus: constant malalignment of the eye from its axis
