Abstract
Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is a common sign of multiple sclero sis in young patients and of vascular diseases in older people. Trauma tic bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia following severe head injur ies may occur. We present the unusual case of a young patient suffered from bilateral INO as an isolated finding after a minor head injury, without other signs of brain stem or cortical injury. The ophthalmople gia has persisted for 22 months.
