Abducens nerve is purely a motor nerve supplying the lateral rectus muscle involved in abduction of the eye
Abducens/abducent nerve Nucleus:
- Nucleus of abducens nerve (nucleus nervi abducentis)
○ Facial nerve goes around this nucleus forming the facial colliculus (colliculus facialis)
○ A somatomotor nucleus that is located in the pons innervates the lateral rectus
Course:
- Emerges from the medullopontine sulcus between the pons and medulla oblongata
- Leaves the brainstem on the ventral side
- Runs on the base of the skull, penetrates the dura mater then enter the cavernous sinus
- Enters the orbit via the superior orbital fissure and common tendinous ring
- Then innervates the lateral rectus
Function of lateral rectus muscle:
- Abduction of the eye
Hering's Law of equal innervation:
- Coordinates both eyes together, so that the medial and the lateral rectus muscle contracts equally, while deactivating the contralateral muscle through the medial longitudinal fasciculus.
Clinical Relevance:
- Abducens nerve can get compressed by a lesion or rise in intracranial pressure.
- Compression causes paralysis of lateral rectus muscle, resulting in medial deviation of affected eye, giving a fully adducted eye at rest and an inability to abduct the eye.
