Motoneurons of twitch and nontwitch extraocular muscle fibers in the abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei of monkeys.
Eye muscle fibers can be divided into two categories: nontwitch, multiply innervated muscle fibers (MIFs), and twitch, singly innervated muscle fibers (SIFs). We investigated the location of motoneurons supplying SIFs and MIFs in the six extraocular muscles of monkeys. Injections of retrograde tracers into eye muscles were placed either centrally, within the central SIF endplate zone; in an int...

متن کاملBenign Isolated Abducens Nerve Palsy
Cranial nerve VI (abducens nerve) innervates the lateral rectus muscle. Acquired isolated abducens nerve palsy in infants and children is a rare condition. A lesion of abducens nerve will result in esotropia greater at distance, an ipsilateral abduction deficiency, and a double vision. The abducens nerve palsy in a child may be caused by serious neurological diseases such as raised intracranial...

Four patients with nasopharyngeal malignancies were reported. The main symptom was diplopia due to abducens palsy in all patients; it was unilateral in three patients and bilateral in one. Skull tomographic evaluation was valuable for detecting nasopharyngeal malignancies. Histological examination of biopsy specimens from the nasopharynx confirmed these lesions to be squamous cell carcinoma in ...
