- Cranial nerve 1 Olfactory nerve (CN I) - sensory
- Cranial nerve 3 Oculomotor nerve (CN III) - motor
- Cranial nerve 4 Trochlear nerve (CN IV) - motor
- Cranial nerve 5 Trigeminal nerve (CN V) - mixed
- Cranial nerve 6 Abducens nerve (CN VI) - motor
- Cranial nerve 7 Facial nerve (CN VII) - mixed
- Cranial nerve 8 Vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII) - sensory
- Cranial nerve 9 Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) - mixed

Includes
- cranial nerve 6 palsy, combine with Disorder of ocular muscles
- 4th cranial nerve palsy, combine with Disorder of cranial nerves, NOS
- 3rd cranial nerve palsy, combine with Disorder of cranial nerves, NOS, Disorder of eyelid, Visual disturbance/impairment, NOS if appropriate
- 7th cranial nerve compression that is NOT diagnosed as Bell's palsy
Excludes:
- For 7th cranial nerve palsy (facial nerve palsy) if it is specified as Bell's palsy Historically, Bell palsy was thought to be idiopathic facial nerve (peripheral 7th cranial nerve) palsy. However, facial nerve palsy is now considered a clinical syndrome with its own differential diagnosis, and the term "Bell palsy" is not always considered synonymous with idiopathic facial nerve palsy.
