Spanish term

paresia del VI par

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Request for a second opinion regarding cavernoma
I can find "paresia" which means "palsy" but nothing related to "VI par" to help me translate "par" in this context.

This is the context: Consciente y orientada, pupilas reactivas, diplopia a la mirada conjugada hacia la derecha por paresia del VI par, nistagmus a la mirada vertical y horizontal más acusado hacia la derecha.

Thank you for your help

sixth cranial nerve [abducens nerve] palsy

The cranial nerves are often referred to by Roman numerals (I-XII). Each nerve is paired; hence, "VI par" is the sixth pair of cranial nerves.
