Our doctor's goal is to interpret this data and create care plans that work to resolve symptoms as fast as possible, no one will be stuck without the data they need to recover as fast as possible
🧠 25% of your cranial nerves play a role in eye movement
of the 12 cranial nerves 3 control eye movement and 1 is responsible for vision

Oculomotor Nerve

Trochlear Nerve (Cranial Nerve IV)
CVI
Abducens Nerve (Cranial Nerve VI)
🧠 Cranial nerves are a set of 12 paired nerves that emerge directly from the brain, as opposed to spinal nerves, which emerge from segments of the spinal cord.
Due to their location, structure, and function, cranial nerves can be susceptible to damage.
Here are some reasons why:
Anatomical Location
Many cranial nerves have a long course as they travel from their origin in the brain to their target structures. This long course can make them vulnerable to injury at multiple points.
Skull Foramina
Cranial nerves exit the skull through small openings called foramina. Any lesion or growth near these foramina can compress or damage the nerves.
Close Proximity to Bony Structures
Some cranial nerves, like the facial nerve, travel through bony canals which offer limited space. Any swelling or inflammation can lead to compression within these canals.
🩸 Vascular Vulnerability
Some cranial nerves are located near blood vessels. Aneurysms or vascular malformations can compress these nerves.
Trauma
Head injuries can lead to direct trauma to the cranial nerves or cause increased intracranial pressure which can indirectly affect the nerves.
Infections and Inflammation
Conditions like meningitis can affect the cranial nerves as they are closely associated with the meninges.
🧐 FAQs
Lets win more cases together
What services do we offer to personal injury attorneys?
How does Neuroglympse differ from other similar service providers?
How can I integrate Neuroglympse's services into my practice?
Do you offer training or support for your services?
How is billing handled for the services rendered?
Are there any hidden fees or charges?
I've heard you collaborate with imaging centers. Can you elaborate?
How can imaging centers or other potential partners collaborate with Neuroglympse?
How do you ensure the security and confidentiality of patient data?
Do I need any specific software or hardware to use your services?
How long is too long after an injury to be screened for an mTBI?
Wait times = missed diagnosis for mTBI cases
With so few neurologists who will see patients quickly for personal injury claims, patients are falling through the cracks and unable to diagnose mTBI with ocular motor motility objectively.
mTBIs are complicated, partnering with us is easy
For clinics that want to expand their clinical expertise into the neurological space or lawyers looking for a better option to get their clients on the fast track to recovery and incorporate our expert report as part of their demand, we are here to help.
