Abstract

We describe a 15-year-old boy who developed isolated bilateral abducens nerve palsies immediately following a motor vehicle accident and who was found to have a pre-pontine extra-axial hematoma. We review the literature on isolated bilateral traumatic abducens palsies and discuss the alternate mechanisms for this injury.
