| | cranial nerve impairment | Explanation:
Diplopia may be caused by several different cranial nerves. The original text does not specify which and it should not be guessed or added.
Impairment is the functioning; the lesion of the nerve is the cause of the impairment. So I would favor "impairment" to express the meaning of "atteinte".

The medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) connects the 6th nerve nucleus to the 3rd nerve nucleus for conjugate movement.
