Abstract

Abducens nerve palsy (ANP) is the most common isolated palsy due to the long peripheral course of the nerve [1]. Before sending our patient out of the office door with his return appointment in hand, there are six bells that should ring in our minds [2]; the six conditions that may imitate isolated lateral rectus weakness include Thyroid eye diseases, Myasthenia gravi]s, Duanes syndrome, Spasm of the near reflex, Delayed break in fusion, Old blowout fracture of the orbit. We present a case of Abducens nerve palsy mimicker in young women with hypothyroidism.
