Bilingual Equivalents: Abducens nerve, Sixth cranial nerve

DEX Definition: An anatomical and clinical term used to denote the sixth cranial nerve (abducens nerve or lateral rectus nerve), which exclusively innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye. In neurological semiology and clinical psychiatry, paralysis or impairment of the abducens nerve causes convergent strabism and diplopia (double vision), being a crucial indicator for diagnosing intracranial hypertension, brainstem tumors, or skull base fractures, phenomena often accompanied by acute mental confusion or organic delirium.

Synonyms: abducens nerve, sixth cranial nerve, abducent nerve
