Abstract:
Oculomotor nerve palsy following head trauma can cause eye movement disorders and severe visual problems, but it was considered to have a poor prognosis with a wide range of interventions in the past. However, we performed neuroanastomosis in a patient with isolated oculomotor nerve injury and obtained a satisfactory long-term recovery, although the short-term effect was not obvious. The clinical presentation, surgical management, and functional rehabilitation of this patient are discussed.
