(A–D) (Pat. No. 10): Pre-contrast (A,C) and post contrast enhancement (B,D), axial (A,B), and sagittal (C,D), reconstructed T1-weighted MRIs at the level of the abducens nerve. Due to the small diameter of the cranial nerves, other than the fifth nerve, the contrast enhancement is difficult to detect (white arrows in B,D) and multi-planar reconstructions are helpful. Identification of the abducens nerve and differentiation from blood vessels can be facilitated by visualization of the abducens nerve in Dore'lo's canal (black arrow B,D).
