There they project and stimulate the lateral rectus of the left eye via the abducens nerve.

One pathway projects directly to the lateral rectus of eye via the abducens nerve.

Most commonly, the abducens nerve (sixth nerve) is involved.

Homologous abducens nerves are found in all vertebrates except lampreys and hagfishes.

Moebius syndrome is a congenital neurological disorder with bilateral paralysis of both the facial and abducens nerves.

Lateral rectus, (supplied by Abducens nerve)

Münchener mediznische Wochenschrift, 1888 - On congenital facial paralysis of the abducens nerve.

The internal carotid artery and Abducens nerve (VI) run within the cavernous sinus.

The abducens nerve leaves the brainstem at the junction of the pons and the medulla, medial to the facial nerve.

Sixth nerve palsy - Abducens nerve (VI)

The Terminologia Anatomica officially recognizes two different English translations: abducent nerve and abducens nerve.

In Moebius-like syndrome, only one side of the face is affected, but with additional nerve palsies of the affected facial and abducens nerve.

The ciliary nerves, ciliary ganglion, oculomotor nerve and abducens nerve are anesthetized in retrobulbar block.

Damage to the abducens nerve causes monocular ipsilateral lateral ophthalmoparesis: specifically, loss of the ability to move the ipsilateral eye outward (abduction).

Dorello's Canal is the bow-shaped bony enclosure surrounding the abducens nerve and the inferior petrosal sinus as the two structures merge with the cavernous sinus.

The abducens nucleus is the originating nucleus from which the abducens nerve (VI) emerges - a cranial nerve nucleus.

The former directly drive the contraction of the ipsilateral lateral rectus muscle via the abducens nerve (sixth cranial nerve); contraction of this muscle rotates the eye outward (abduction).

A generalized increase in intracranial pressure - hydrocephalus, pseudotumor cerebri, hemorrhage, edema - will affect the fourth nerve, but the abducens nerve (VI) is usually affected first (producing horizontal diplopia, not vertical diplopia).

Unlike the nerves listed above, the abducens nerve (CN VI) does not run within the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus; rather, it runs through the middle of the sinus alongside the internal carotid artery.

But children are certainly going to be put off by the rampant medical jargon, as in "the abducens nerve is the sixth cranial nerve and extends from the dorsal part of the pons to the lateral rectus muscle of the eye."

The abducens nerve is most likely to show signs of damage first, with the most common complaints retro-orbital pain and the involvement of cranial nerves III, IV, V1, and VI without other neurological signs or symptoms.

The abducens nerve or abducent nerve (the sixth cranial nerve, also called the sixth nerve or simply VI) is a somatic efferent nerve that controls the movement of a single muscle, the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, in humans.

Sixth nerve palsy, or abducens nerve palsy, is a disorder associated with dysfunction of cranial nerve VI (the abducens nerve), which is responsible for contracting the lateral rectus muscle to abduct (i.e., turn out) the eye.
