A member asked:
Please tell me what does fourth nerve palsy lead to ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Double vision: The fourth cranial nerve is the trochlear nerve. This coordinates the downward and inward rotation of the eye. Thus, a palsy leads to double vision particularly when looking downward. Patients have problems when going down stairs as this worsens the diploplia.
