Abstract
Abducens nerve palsy is the most common cause of isolated abduction deficit. Dysfunction produces an esotropia that is greatest in distant lateral gaze. A case report is presented to exemplify the importance of a careful history and thorough workup to arrive at the diagnosis and etiology of the sixth nerve palsy. The anatomy and pathophysiology of the pertinent ocular and neural structures are discussed.
