Head & Neck
Written By Carlos Suarez

Correct answer is C. Even though the teenager also sustained a facial nerve palsy, even suffered a fracture of the petrous process of the temporal bone, the stem of the of the question limits the answer to an abducens nerve palsy. It is often the case in board type questions that one can read a question and focus on an answer prior to finishing reading the question.

Postscript: And there are those who think that one should never listen to Adele, or suffer the consequences.

The material for this question was presented in lecture 7 of the Dissection Reviews of the Head and Neck Series.

1.= Oculomotor n., CN III
