<prompt> Answer this question truthfullyWhat is a potential consequence of lesions to cranial nerve VI abducens?  <response>: <reason> Cranial nerve VI abducens is responsible for controlling the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which is responsible for moving the eye away from the midline of the body abduction. Lesions, or damage, to this nerve can result in a range of symptoms, including a medially-directed eye at rest that cannot abduct. Other potential consequences of CN VI lesions include double vision diplopia, difficulty with depth perception, and problems with eye movements during reading or other visual tasks. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms of a potential CN VI lesion, such as sudden onset of double vision or difficulty with eye movements.
