Biological context of Abducens Nerve Diseases

• METHODS: All members of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus and the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society were invited to enroll patients with sixth nerve palsy or paresis of more than 6 months duration over a 2-year period (between March 1998 and February 2000) [12].

Gene context of Abducens Nerve Diseases
