Padmini S Vishnu, Shuba L, B Chandrasekharan

Abstract :

The sixth cranial nerve runs a long course from the ainstem to the lateral rectus muscle. Based on the location of an abnormality, other neurologic structures may be involved with the pathology related to this nerve. Sixth nerve palsy is frequently due to a benign process with full recovery within weeks, yet caution is warranted as it may portend a serious neurologic process. Hence, early diagnosis is often critical for some conditions that present with sixth nerve palsy. We report a case of sixth nerve palsy with a rare clinical presentation .The patient recovered remarkably after treating the patient with ASS corticosteroids within a few days. This case describes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of sixth nerve palsy .The other causes and differential diagnosis of sixth nerve palsy has been highlighted .
