SECTION VII - CRANIAL NERVE SUMMARY EVALUATION
("degree of paralysis")
7A. INDICATE THE CRANIAL NERVE(S) AFFECTED. FOR EACH NERVE, INDICATE SEVERITY
, BASING THE RESPONSES ON SYMPTOMS
AND FINDINGS FROM THE ABOVE EXAM. THIS SECTION PROVIDES AN ESTIMATION OF THE SEVERITY OF THE VETERAN'S CRANIAL NERVE CONDITION,
WHICH IS USEFUL FOR VA PURPOSES.
NOTE: For VA purposes, the term "incomplete paralysis" indicates a degree of lost or impaired function substantially less than the description of complete paralysis
that is given below with each nerve, whether due to a varied level of the nerve lesion or to partial regeneration.
