Cranial Nerve VI, also known as the abducens nerve, is one of the twelve pairs of cranial nerves. It primarily controls the lateral rectus muscle, which is responsible for moving the eye outward, away from the nose. This movement is essential for proper eye coordination and visual tracking. Damage to the abducens nerve can lead to symptoms such as double vision or difficulty in moving the eye laterally. Conditions affecting this nerve may include trauma, tumors, or increased intracranial pressure. Proper functioning of Cranial Nerve VI is crucial for maintaining clear and coordinated vision.
