Description Idiopathic cranial nerve 6 (CN6) palsy in pediatric patients is a well-recognized yet rare phenomenon. (1) Etiology includes tumor, elevated ICP, trauma, congenital, inflammatory, and idiopathic. (1,2) In the absence of any other findings upon workup, children can be diagnosed as idiopathic CN6 palsy, typically resolving a few months after onset. (3) The literature is quite mixed as to the description, expected workup, and rate of spontaneous vs. incomplete recovery for these patients.
