Examples of clivus in the following topics:
-
Abducens (VI) Nerve
- It runs upward between the pons and the clivus, and then pierces the dura mater to run between the dura and the skull.
-
Strabismus
- A strabismus may be a sign of increased intracranial pressure, as CN VI is particularly vulnerable to damage from brain swelling, as it runs between the clivus and brain stem.
