Abstract

Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy following head injury is uncommon. It can only be diagnosed with confidence if it is known to have developed immediately following trauma and if adequate investigations exclude secondary causes. The recovery is only partial and this has repercussion on patients' quality of life.
