Re: Patient can't glaze laterally to th left

[Guest guest]

yes left abducent and/or right occulomotor.. if there is no other abnormality

then left abducent alone.. but if there is any other gaze abnormality on the

right side then right occulomotor could be the reason..

To be able to see on any side, both the eyes should work together.. So if u want

to see to ur left, u need the left eye to look laterally and the right eye to

look medially.. Hence the involvement of right occulomotor.. But if there is no

other problem in the right eye's gaze, because occulomotor is responsible for

all eye movements except those by LR and SO. So in that case only left abducent

will be defective..

Hope this helps.. Please correct if I am wrong..
