This episode begins with a description of the examinable components of each cranial nerve, and how they are best grouped together for an efficient and logical examination, before taking a deep dive into the specific examination techniques for each cranial nerve, focussing on pearls and pitfalls for optimal testing, along with focussing on linking the examination to relevant neurological pathologies for contextualisation and to aid memorisation. This episode, part 1, focusses on cranial nerves I-IV and VI (the olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear and abducens nerves).
