Congenital abduction deficit is most likely due to Duane's retraction syndrome as congenital abducens nerve palsy is very rare. We report two cases of infantile abduction deficit due to sixth nerve palsy associated with other anomalies to highlight the importance of including neuroimaging in the evaluation of an infant presenting with a limitation of abduction.

introduction gradenigo’s syndrome consists of ophthalmoplegia, facial palsy, and facial pain due to involvement of abducens and facial nerves as well as the trigeminal ganglion. this involvement is due to infections of ipsilateral middle ear and mastoid bone. case presentation a 14-month-old girl was referred to a private clinic with chief complaint of acute and sudden-onset right ophthalmopleg...

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.

INTRODUCTION Abducens nerve palsy (ANP) is the most common isolated palsy. The injury of the abducens nerve can occur anywhere along its long course, so differential diagnosis of ANP occasionally demands thorough investigation to find the proper cause. PATIENTS Ten patients with isolated ANP are presented. The causes included nasopharyngeal carcinoma, diabetes, cholesteatoma of the inner ear,...

hematological investigations were all within normal limits. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR angiography of the brain and orbit demonstrated compression of the right abducens nerve superiorly and laterally by dolichoectatic left VA. No other abnormal signals were seen in brainstem [Figure 1]. Owing to the fact that the right abducens nerve palsy was mild and the patient showed no diplopia...
