The document discusses the anatomy and clinical significance of the fourth cranial nerve (trochlear nerve). It describes the functional components and course of the nerve from the brainstem through the cavernous sinus and orbit. The trochlear nerve is unique as the only cranial nerve to emerge from the dorsal aspect of the brainstem and the only crossed nerve. Clinical features of trochlear nerve palsy include double vision, difficulty going downstairs, and head tilt. Special tests like Parks three step test and double Maddox rod test can help in diagnosis. Treatment depends on severity and may involve weakening other extraocular muscles.

Clinical Vignettes
Your cerebellum is part of your brain that helps coordinate and regulate a wide range of functions and processes in both your brain and body. While it's very small compared to your brain overall, it holds more than half of the neurons (cells that make up your nervous system) in your whole body.
Anatomy & functions of the Brainstem & CerebellumRafid Rashid
Provides a good description of the anatomy of the brainstem & cerebellum; their parts, structure, blood supply & a brief description of their functions.
The ciliary ganglion is one of four parasympathetic ganglia of the head and neck. It receives preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the EWN via the CN III.
It supplies the eye via short ciliary nerves not only with parasympathetic fibers, but also with sensory and sympathetic fibers that pass through the ganglion.
Gross anatomy
Shape: Flat/lenticular
Size: 2 mm*1mm (smallest)
Location: posterolaterally in the intra-conal space of the orbit between the optic nerve and the LR muscle. 10 mm from Zinn, 15-20 mm from posterior pole
It is just lateral to the ophthalmic artery as it crosses the optic nerve from lateral to medial
Sympathetic root
from the ICA (from the superior cervical ganglion) via the nasociliary nerve, a branch of the trigeminal nerve
fibers pass through the ganglion without synapsing.
Roots
Parasympathetic root (motor)
from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the CN III via the inferior division; nerve to the IO muscle.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
