Sixth nerve palsy occurs when the sixth cranial nerve is damaged or doesn't work right. It's also known as the abducens nerve. This condition causes problems with eye movement. The sixth cranial nerve sends signals to your lateral rectus muscle. This is a small muscle that attaches to the outer side of your eye.
WHAT CAUSES CRANIAL NERVE VI PALSY? The most common causes of sixth cranial nerve palsy are stroke, trauma, viral illness, brain tumor, inflammation, infection, migraine headache and elevated pressure inside the brain. The condition can be present at birth; however, the most common cause in children is trauma.

Sixth nerve palsy is also known as lateral rectus palsy. Palsy is a type of full or partial paralysis. Your lateral rectus muscle is one of seven eye muscles located outside your eye. Each muscle moves the eye in one specific direction. The eye muscles work together to allow your eye to move in every direction.
The lateral rectus is a flat-shaped muscle, and it is wider in its anterior part. The lateral rectus muscle is an abductor and moves the eye laterally, and side to side along with the medial rectus, which is an adductor.
Binocular vision is a sensorimotor process: eye movements work to keep the lines of sight of left and right eye pointing to the same target, and the visual system combines the resultant, slightly different retinal images, to form a single percept (i.e., binocular fusion) and create a sensation of depth (i.e., ...
What is Oculomotor Dysfunction? Oculomotor Dysfunction is a common vision problem that occurs when there is a developmental delay, trauma to the brain, or disease that affects the central nervous system and interferes with the brain's ability to coordinate the eyes to move with accuracy and control.

The cause of Bell's palsy is unknown but is thought to be caused by inflammation affecting the body's immune system. It is associated with other conditions such as diabetes. Symptoms of facial weakness or paralysis get worse over the first few days and start to improve in about 2 weeks.

H49.22 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of sixth [abducent] nerve palsy, left eye. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Sixth nerve palsy, or abducens nerve palsy, is a disorder associated with dysfunction of cranial nerve VI (the abdu cens nerve), which is responsible for causing contraction of the lateral rectus muscle to abduct (i.e., turn out) the eye.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H49.22 and a single ICD9 code, 378.54 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Most (80%) microvascular superior oblique palsies will resolve within 3-6 months. However spontaneous recovery is less likely to occur if the lateral rectus palsy has been caused by a head injury or a tumour.
This is known as a microvascular palsy. Direct pressure on the VIth nerve caused by tumours, middle ear infections or swelling of neighbouring blood vessels can damage the VIth nerve. Lateral rectus palsies can also be a sign of raised intracranial pressure.
Head injuries can cause a lateral rectus palsy, but this is usually due to raised intracranial pressure. Occasionally inflammation in the region of the nerve can cause a lateral rectus palsy. Typical features of a lateral rectus palsy include: Sudden onset of horizontal double vision, which is worse when the patient looks to the affected side.
