  • Title: Denervation atrophy of motor cranial nerves.
    Author: Smoker WR, Reede DL.
    Journal: Neuroimaging Clin N Am; 2008 May; 18(2):387-411, xi. PubMed ID: 18466838.
    Abstract:
    Muscles undergoing denervation demonstrate a variety of imaging appearances in the various stages. It is incumbent on the radiologist to be aware of these changes so as not to interpret these muscles as harboring a tumor or being involved by an inflammatory process. Knowledge of cranial nerve anatomy and the muscles they innervate enables identification of denervation patterns that could implicate more than one nerve and directs the search for the causative lesion.
