Background: Neurovascular compression is an extremely rare etiology of isolated abducens nerve palsy. We describe a successfully treated case of isolated abducens nerve palsy due to sandwich-type compression by the vertebral artery (VA) and anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA). Case Description: A 30-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of horizontal diplopia without other symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated pinching of the left abducens nerve between the elongated left VA and left AICA. MRI showed no abnormal findings in the brainstem, cavernous sinus, or orbit. Surgery was performed using a standard lateral suboccipital approach. The abducens nerve was found to be severely compressed from both sides by the VA and AICA, with marked indentation. First, the VA was transposed and fixed to the dura mater of the petrous bone using a Teflon sling with the dripping of fibrin glue. Next, because of limited mobilization due to penetration of the AICA into the nerve, the AICA transfixing the nerve was attached to the pons with Teflon felt and fibrin glue to move the AICA away from the main trunk of the abducens nerve. The abducens nerve palsy gradually improved and eventually resolved by 4 months after the operation. Conclusion: When an elongated vertebrobasilar artery is identified as the offending vessel on high-resolution MRI, microvascular decompression can be carefully considered as a treatment option for patients with isolated abducens nerve palsy.
