Abstract

The anatomy of cranial nerves I and III through XII are presented. Each nerve is diagrammatically illustrated from its nuclear or its sensory origin and correlated with magnetic resonance and computed tomography images. The important identifying anatomical landmarks are demonstrated along the course of each nerve. Peripheral motor and sensory components are also discussed.
