Because the<unk>  emerges near the bottom of the brain, it is often the first<unk>  compressed when there is any rise in intracranial pressure. Different presentations of the condition, or associations with other conditions, can help to localize the site of the lesion along the VIth cranial<unk>  pathway. The most common causes of VIth<unk>  palsy in adults are: *More common: Vasculopathic (diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis), trauma, idiopathic. *Less common: Increased intracranial pressure, giant cell arteritis, cavernous sinus mass (e.g. meningioma, Brain stem Glioblastoma aneurysm, metastasis), multiple sclerosis, sarcoidosis/vasculitis, postmyelography, lumbar puncture, stroke (usually not isolated), Chiari Malformation, hydrocephalus, intracranial hypertension, tuberculosis meningitis. In children, Harley reports typical causes as traumatic, neoplastic (most commonly brainstem glioma), as well as idiopathic.<unk>  causes the eyes to deviate inward (see: Pathophysiology of strabismus). Vallee et al. report that benign and rapidly recovering isolated VIth<unk>  palsy can occur in childhood, sometimes precipitated by ear, nose and throat infections.
