Bilateral Abducent Nerve Palsy: Not Always a False Localising Sign

Abstract

Baldawa S

False localising sign is a term coined to indicate a clinical sign which is not in concordance with expected anatomical localisation of pathology. Bilateral abducent nerve palsy is often considered to be false localising sign, a sign of raised intracranial pressure. However bilateral abducent nerve palsy may rarely occur in absence of raised intracranial pressure.
