| 1. | Most commonly, the abducens nerve ( sixth nerve ) is involved.
|
| 2. | In addition there are inhibitory vestibular pathways to the ipsilateral abducens nucleus.
|
| 3. | Damage to the abducens nerve ( VI ) can also result in diplopia.
|
| 4. | Motor axons leaving the abducens nucleus run ventrally and caudally through the pons.
|
| 5. | The unilateral abducens nerve palsy is the most common of the isolated ocular motor nerve palsies.
|
| 6. | Moebius syndrome is a congenital neurological disorder with bilateral paralysis of both the facial and abducens nerves.
|
| 7. | This is due to impairment in the lateral rectus muscle, which is innervated by the abducens nerve.
|
| 8. | Lateral expansion of a pituitary adenoma can also compress the abducens nerve, causing a lateral rectus palsy.
|
| 9. | The 39th edition of " Gray s Anatomy " ( 2005 ) also prefers abducens nerve .
|
| 10. | The long course of the abducens nerve between the brainstem and the eye makes it vulnerable to injury at many levels.
