| Description |
The abducens nerve is unique in that damage to its nucleus results not in ipsilateral abduction weakness but in horizontal gaze paralysis toward the side of the lesion. Beyond the nucleus, damage results in abduction weakness only, because of weakness of the ipsilateral lateral rectus muscle. In the section below, we examine these syndromes in detail. |
