Abstract
Three cases of patients with acute middle ear infections complicated by a sixth nerve palsy are described. The possible causes of sixth nerve palsy in such cases are discussed. We propose that where there is a sixth nerve palsy without petrositis and without raised intracranial pressure, it can arise as a result of spreading phlebitis along the inferior petrosal sinus from the lateral sinus.
