which cranial nerve elevates the uvula
Lesions of the vagus nerve result in uvular deviation AWAY from the lesion. In this example, the tongue deviates to the patient's left, so the left hypoglossal nerve is involved. The uvula deviates to the right with left posterior pharynx stimulation, so the left vagus nerve is involved. The other choices are incorrect. Report Abuse. * Re:uvula deviates to the right.
