Sixth Nerve Palsy and Unilateral Horner's Syndrome

Anatomic reports have demonstrated that the sympathetic fibers leave the carotid plexus to join the abducens nerve in the posterior part of the cavernous sinus. A lesion in this area may cause both an abducens nerve palsy and ipsilateral Horner's syndrome. This article details two additional ca...

Zusammenfassung:	Anatomic reports have demonstrated that the sympathetic fibers leave the carotid plexus to join the abducens nerve in the posterior part of the cavernous sinus. A lesion in this area may cause both an abducens nerve palsy and ipsilateral Horner's syndrome. This article details two additional cases of this uncommon occurrence.
