Abstract
The surgical approach and some histoanatomical characteristics of the intracavernous portion of the oculomotor nerve are described. Moreover, some perioperative precautions for intracranial surgical procedures in the rat are reported and the suitability of the rat as a model for studying intracranial nerve regeneration is discussed. With the data provided, this model of oculomotor nerve approach can be used to study various aspects of intracranial nerve regeneration.
