Bilateral abducens nerve palsy after head injury is rare. This case study shows complete recovery within six months following skull fractures and hematoma.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Traumatic brain injury can lead to cranial nerve palsies.
  • Abducens nerve palsy (cranial nerve VI) affects eye movement, causing double vision.

Observation:

  • A patient experienced bilateral abducens nerve palsy after significant head trauma.
  • Radiological imaging revealed associated skull fractures and an intracranial hematoma.

Findings:

  • The patient demonstrated complete recovery from the abducens nerve palsy over a six-month period.
  • The study details the specific mechanism, clinical presentation, and imaging findings of this rare injury.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for recovery in severe traumatic nerve injuries.
