The sixth cranial nerve runs a long course from the brainstem to the lateral rectus muscle. Based on the location of an abnormality, other neurologic structures may be involved with the pathology related to this nerve. Sixth nerve palsy is frequently due to a benign process with full recovery within weeks, yet caution is warranted as it may portend a serious neurologic process. Hence, early dia...

OBJECTIVE In this report, we aimed to investigate the patients that presented at our clinic complaint with diplopia due to the abducens nerve palsy and neurosurgical disease. METHODS The study design was a retrospective review of ten cases with the abducens nerve palsy.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Congenital superior oblique palsy is known to relate to trochlear nerve absence and a variable degree of superior oblique muscle hypoplasia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether superior oblique muscle volume predicts trochlear nerve absence in congenital superior oblique palsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of high-resolution MR imaging to e...

In this case report we present a diabetic patient with isolated, pupil-sparing, incomplete inferior division third cranial nerve palsy. Laboratory tests for the evaluation of thyroid function, infection, myasthenia gravis and autoimmune diseases were normal. Cranial computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography also showed normal findings. Accordingly, diabe...

the appropriate time for performing transfers in radial nerve palsy is somewhat a controversial matter. brown suggested that it would be advisable to proceed early with the full component of tandon transfers when there is a questionable or poor prognosis for the nerve repair. for example, when there is a nerve gap of greater than 4 cm or when there is a large wound or extensive scarring or skin...
