Abducens palsy; Lateral rectus palsy : Symptoms may include double vision when looking to one side (for unilateral injury). In some cases, there is pain or headaches.

Cranial mononeuropathy VI is a mononeuropathy (damage to a single nerve) involving the sixth cranial (abducens) nerve, one of the cranial nerves that controls eye movement.Abducens nerve disorders are often associated with diabetic neuropathy, trauma, infections (like meningitis or sinusitis), infarction (tissue damage from loss of blood flow), cranial aneurysms, tumors, or increased intracranial pressure (pressure within the skull). In some cases, no cause can be found.No specific prevention is available, although patients with diabetes may reduce the risk by controlling their blood sugar.

The outcome depends on the underlying cause. Treatment of the underlying cause may improve the condition, while improvement may occur even if the cause is never determined.

Hope this is helpful.
