SAMPLE BOARD-STYLE QUESTIONS

Question 1 (Head and Neck - Cranial Nerves)

A 45-year-old patient presents with an inability to elevate the left shoulder and difficulty
turning the head to the right. Which cranial nerve is most likely affected?

A) Cranial Nerve X (Vagus)
B) Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal)
C) Cranial Nerve XI (Accessory)
D) Cranial Nerve XII (Hypoglossal)




Answer: C) Cranial Nerve XI (Accessory)

Rationale: The spinal accessory nerve (CN XI) innervates the sternocleidomastoid and
trapezius muscles. The sternocleidomastoid turns the head to the opposite side, while the
trapezius elevates the shoulder. Dysfunction causes weakness in these movements. This
classic presentation is a key clinical correlate emphasized in Netter's cranial nerve tables .




Question 2 (Thorax - Heart Valves)
