Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Pediatric head trauma can present with diverse neurological sequelae.
  • Ocular injuries in children require thorough evaluation for potential complications.

Observation:

  • A 4-year-old girl presented with left eye contracture and headache.
  • A history of a fall and left eye injury was reported 7 months prior.

Findings:

  • Physical examination and radiologic imaging confirmed left eye contracture.
  • A significant finding was the presence of a brain abscess.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates a rare long-term intracranial complication of eyelid injury.
  • Delayed neurological sequelae underscore the need for vigilant follow-up after pediatric eye trauma.
