CRANIAL NERVE VI: ABDUCENS NERVE

on 2.12.06 with 0 comments



CAVERNOUS SINUS: It runs in the cavernous sinus. If there is ever brain hemorrhage, pressure from excess CSF can damage the Abducens nerve.

STRABISMUS: The inability to direct both eyes toward the same object.

INJURY TO ABDUCENS: The eye on the affected side rotates inward (adducts), due to the unopposed action of the medial rectus muscle.
