Isolated sixth nerve palsy
An isolated sixth nerve palsy may be a harbinger of underlying intracranial disease. Due to its long subarachnoid course, it may be damaged by downward shift of the brainstem as often occurs in increased or decreased intracranial pressure (“false-localizing sixth nerve palsy”). Alternatively, the sixth nerve may be involved in isolation by a compressive lesion in the cavernous sinus or along th...
متن کاملIsolated sixth nerve palsy from pontine infarct.
Isolated sixth nerve palsy associated with pontine infarct is very rare due to close anatomic organization of the structures. A 62-year-old woman, who complained of diplopia, had a diagnosis of sixth nerve palsy. Ophthalmological examination revealed 30 PD left esotropia in primary position with limited abduction of the left eye. Neurologic examination was normal. MR showed a lacunar infarct in...

PURPOSE To present five patients with VIth nerve palsy and ipsilateral Horner's Syndrome (HS), as a result of cavernous sinus alteration. STUDY DESIGN Consecutive case series. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five patients presented abducens palsy with horizontal diplopia (3 in primary position and 2 in lateral gaze only) and ipsilateral HS.

متن کاملCapecitabine and sixth cranial nerve palsy.
Capecitabine is an oral chemotherapeutic agent converted to 5 fluorouracil (5-FU). Neurotoxicity associated with the medication encompasses both central and peripheral nervous systems. We describe a 60 year old man with colonic carcinoma who developed diplopia due to a sixth nerve palsy following the use of capecitabine which is an orally administered prodrug of 5-FU. An MRI of brain did not re...
