A member asked:
If a person had face lacerations what cranial nerve would be damaged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Facial or Trigeminal: You can easily have injury to the facial or trigeminal nerve with facial lacerations. Other cranial nerves can also be involved, though these are the cutaneous nerves, and more easily damaged with superficial injuries.
