title: [Experimental microsurgical exposure of cranial nerves III, IV and VI in the cat].
abstract: The operative techniques for experimental microsurgical studies on the third, fourth and sixth cranial nerves in the cat are described. We have found that the oculomotor nerve is best reached by a subtemporal approach. The trochlear nerve is easily exposed by a posterior temporal craniotomy while the abducens nerve should be approached through the clivus.
