Axons from cranial nerve VII loop around the abducens nucleus purchase provera 2,5mg without prescription, forming the bulge of the fourth ventricle buy provera 2,5mg. Axons from the abducens nucleus course ventrally through the pontine tegmentum to emerge from the ventral surface of the brainstem at the junction of the pons and the pyramid of the medulla. The nerve runs anterior and lateral in the subarach- noid space of the posterior fossa, to piercing the dura lateral to the dorsum sellae of the sphenoid bone. The nerve continues forward between the dura and the apex of the petrous temporal bone. Here it takes a sharp right angle, bending over the apex of the temporal bone to enter the cavernous sinus. The nerve lies lateral to the carotid artery, and medial to CN III, IV, V1 and V2. Finally, the abducens nerve enters the orbit at the medial end of the superior orbital fissure. Patients report binocular horizontal diplopia that worsens when looking in the Symptoms direction of the paretic lateral rectus muscle and when looking at distant objects. Abduction of the affected eye is highly reduced or impossible, while gaze to the unaffected side is normal (see Fig. Pathogenesis Lateral rectus paralysis is the most frequently encountered paralysis of an extraocular muscle. Topographically: Nuclear: Infarction, tumor, Wernicke’s disease, Moebius and Duane’s syndrome (rare). Subarachnoid: Meningitis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, clivus tumor (men- ingioma, chordoma), trauma, basilar aneurysm.
