Diabetes Mellitus
Many factors are involved, including the accumulation of sorbitol in peripheral sensory nerves from sustained hyperglycemia.[emedicine.com]
Motor neuropathy and cranial mononeuropathy result from vascular disease in blood vessels supplying nerves.[emedicine.com]
Otitis Externa
Nine patients had cranial nerve involvement. Twelve of 15 patients treated with medical therapy recovered, as did 11 of 12 patients that underwent surgery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The facial nerve, Cranial Nerve VII, may be involved and manifests as facial paralysis if the infection spreads to the stylomastoid foramen where CN VII exits the skull.[emdocs.net]

Brainstem Infarction â Brainstem lesions typically involve the cranial nerves and sensory loss of one half of the face and the contralateral half of the body. 1.[usmleforum.com]
Clinically, in localizing strokes to the brainstem one looks for the "cardinal" feature of an ipsilateral peripheral cranial nerve involvement, and a contralateral weakness[tchain.com]
