Peng et al. [17] and Wysiadecki et al. [24] speculated that the lateral rectus muscle may comprise two functionally distinct compartments, resulting in two “targets” for the growing nerve fibers. The AN duplication may result from “alternative developmental pathways in which this nerve’s axons, specific for a given segment of the lateral rectus muscle, run separately at some stage instead of forming a single nerve” [24].
