A clinical analysis was carried out on 76 cases of cranial nerve injury out of 285 cases of head injury observed at Chungnam University Hospital in two and half years:1973, Jul. and 1976, Jan. The most frequently affected nerves were occulomotor (48 case), acoustic(10 case), facial(9 case), and abduscence nerve(5 case)in order. Intracranial bleeding was provided by surgery in about half of patients which showed unilateral pupillary dilatation.
The outcome of facial palsy was worse in the group of immediate palsy than delayed one. Conductive hearing difficulty was more frequent and showed better prognosis than receptive one.
