  • Title: Sixth nerve palsy and unilateral Horner's syndrome.
    Author: Gutman I, Levartovski S, Goldhammer Y, Tadmor R, Findler G.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1986 Jul; 93(7):913-6. PubMed ID: 3763136.
    Abstract:
    Anatomic reports have demonstrated that the sympathetic fibers leave the carotid plexus to join the abducens nerve in the posterior part of the cavernous sinus. A lesion in this area may cause both an abducens nerve palsy and ipsilateral Horner's syndrome. This article details two additional cases of this uncommon occurrence.
