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 nerve is CN VI?

the abducens nerveCranial nerve six (CN VI), also known as the abducens nerve, is one of the nerves responsible for the extraocular motor functions of the eye, along with the oculomotor nerve (CN III) and the trochlear nerve (CN IV).

Where is the 6th cranial nerve located?

ponsAnatomical Course. The abducens nerve arises from the abducens nucleus in the pons of the brainstem. It exits the brainstem at the junction of the pons and the medulla. It then enters the subarachnoid space and pierces the dura mater to travel in an area known as Dorello's canal.

How do you check cranial nerve VI?

What causes 6th nerve palsy in the eye?

Sixth nerve palsy, also known as abducens nerve palsy, is a disorder that affects eye movement. It's caused by damage to the sixth cranial nerve or obstruction anywhere along its path from the brainstem to the eye. The primary function of the sixth cranial nerve is to send signals to your lateral rectus muscle.

Is sixth nerve palsy common?

Abducens (sixth cranial) nerve palsy is the most common ocular motor paralysis in adults and the second-most common in children. The abducens nerve controls the lateral rectus muscle, which abducts the eye. Abducens nerve palsy causes an esotropia due to the unopposed action of the antagonistic medial rectus muscle.

The ICD code H492 is used to code Sixth nerve palsy

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