Morphometric analysis of the abducens nerve in the petroclival region
Variations of the AN in the petroclival region are not a rare phenomenon but occur very frequently. Consequently, we have developed a new classification system for AN variations. This knowledge might help neurosurgeons, as it prepares them to be aware of such variations and adapt their surgical approaches accordingly.
