Case ReportsReversible bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia following head injury.
Internuclear ophthalmoplegia is a syndrome produced by a lesion in the medial longitudinal fasciculus. Head trauma is a rare cause. We describe an unusual case of bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia as an isolated sequela following a minor head injury that resolved completely 3 months later. ⋯ Isolated internuclear ophthalmoplegia should be considered in the differential diagnosis when one encounters an adduction deficit in a recently traumatized patient. Magnetic resonance images enhance the ability to correlate the clinical findings with the anatomic lesion.
