DERMATOMES
Fig. 88 Approximate distribution of dermatomes on the anterior aspect of the upperlimb.
Fig. 88-91 show the approximate cutaneous areas supplied by each spinal root. There isconsiderable variation and overlap between dermatomes, so tnat an isolated root lesionresults in a much smaller area of sensory impairment than is indicated in these diagrams.This variation also applies to the innervation of the fingers, but the thumb is usuallysupplied by C6 and the little finger usually by C8 (see Inouye and Buchthal (1977) Brain100: 731-748).The heavy axial lines are usually more consistent, showing the boundarybetween non consecutive dermatomes.

DYSFUNCTION
(MAIN CAUSES/PATTERNS)
• Loss of olfactory fibres occurs naturally with ageing.
• The loss of smell is frequently associated with upper respiratory infections, sinus diseases and head trauma.
• In severe head traumas the olfactory bulb may torn away from the olfactory nerves, determining a loss of smell and possible CSF rhinorrhea.

MOST COMMON CAUSES OF DYSFUNCTION ABNORMAL FINDINGS
# involving optic canal
Pressure on optic pathways
Laceration or intracerebral clot
Loss of pupillary constriction*
Visual field defects*
• As the CNII is effectively part of the CNS (the myelin surrounding the CNII is formed by oligodendrocytes), pathologies affecting only the CNS like Multiple Sclerosis can affecting it.
