Internuclear ophthalmoplegia is a remarkable finding, particularly in patients victims of head injury. The medial longitudinal fasciculus, which is believed to be lesioned in cases of internuclear ophthalmoplegia, has an unique brain stem position and the mechanism involved in brain stem contusions implies a maximal intensity of shearing forces on the skull base. We describe a very rare association of bilateral ophthalmoplegia and clivus fracture following head injury, without further neurological signs. The patient history, his physical examination and the image investigation provide additional evidence to some of the mechanisms of injury proposed to explain post-traumatic internuclear ophthalmoplegia.

AbstractRare case of bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) following head injury in 25-year-old male is being reported. The site of the lesion in the mid-brain as detected in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlates well with the clinical presentation. The patient recovered on conservative treatment with a course of dexamethasone (for brainstem contusion).
