An ophthalmologic examination was performed in one patient with a duplicated abducens nerve, revealed with thin-sectioned magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) across the brainstem level.RESULTS:
The MRI disclosed a duplicated left abducens nerve. The patient was orthotropic in five cardinal positions, and her ductions and versions were full.CONCLUSIONS:
One patient with a duplicated abducens nerve showed orthotropia and normal ocular movement.
