Eversbusch (41) con-siders it doubtful whether we are here dealing with an otogenicneuritic change or with a toxic inflammation. In addition to theextension of the inflammatory process a purely toxic effect uponthe nerv^e-fibres cannot be shown at present. Chierici also saw inpurulent otitis media a recurrent paralysis of the abducens, whichpromptly disappeared when the purulent discharge was facilitatedand reappeared twice a. r. o. 2J.

Dorello (43) and Baldenweck (44) have sought to refer theindirect otogenic lesion of the abducens to anatomical mentions the direct relationship between the veins of thetympanic cavity and of the inferior petrosal sinus, and Baldenweckrefers to the congenital dehiscences in the bone of the anterior wallof the tympanic cavity. He describes the close relationship of thenerve-trunk to the apex of the pyramid, the abducens being attachedto it by a firm disc of connective tissue, which is further strengthenedby the petro-sphenoidal ligament and by processes of dura. Imme-diately after its transit across the edge of the pyramid the abducenssinks into the cavernous sinus. Dore
