Abstrakt:	Background: The trochlear nerve (the fourth cranial nerve) is the only cranial nerve that arises from the dorsal aspect of the midbrain. The nerve has a lengthy course making it highly susceptible to injury. It is also the smallest cranial nerve and is often difficult to identify on neuroimaging. Evidence Acquisition: High-resolution 3-dimensional skull base MRI allows for submillimeter isotropic acquisition and is optimal for cranial nerve evaluation. In this text, the detailed anatomy of the fourth cranial nerve applicable to imaging will be reviewed. Results: Detailed anatomic knowledge of each segment of the trochlear nerve is necessary in patients with trochlear nerve palsy. A systematic approach to identification and assessment of each trochlear nerve segment is essential. Pathologic cases are provided for each segment. Conclusions: A segmental approach to high-resolution 3-dimensional MRI for the study of the trochlear nerve is suggested. Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest.
