| Abstract | Background: The trochlear nerve (the fourth cranial nerve) is the only cranial nerve that arises from the dorsal aspect of the midbrain. The nerve has a lengthy course making it highly susceptible to injury. It is also the smallest cranial nerve and is often difficult to identify on neuroimaging. |
