This illustration depicts damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI) and the lateral rectus muscle in a lateral cut-away view of the eye orbit. The abducens nerve, responsible for innervating the lateral rectus muscle, has been impaired, affecting the muscle's ability to abduct the eye (move it laterally). The lateral rectus muscle is shown in its anatomical position along the lateral aspect of the orbit. Injury to this nerve and muscle typically results in medial strabismus, where the eye deviates inward due to unopposed action of the medial rectus muscle.
