Management of sixth nerve palsy – different approaches

Abstract

Sixth nerve palsy is one of the most common oculomotor nerve palsy, manifested by abolished or limited abduction of the affected eye and diplopia. This condition significantly alters patient’s quality of life. The authors wish to emphasize forensic implications of this neuro-muscular dysfunction throughout its management steps, giving some examples of cases, with different etiology and treatment. It’s important to highlight the role of a careful imaging and a good interdisciplinary collaboration in management of this paralysis.
