Abstract:
Isolated trochlear Nerve Injury (TNI) following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is uncommon. There are diagnostic challenges in the early detection of isolated TNI and there is currently no agreed screening tool for its diagnosis. We report a 30 year-old gentleman with severe TBI, who was detected to have diplopia during routine screening vestibular tests. He was subsequently diagnosed to have isolated TNI following a positive Bielschowsky head tilt test. This was managed conservatively and his symptom of diplopia improved 5 months following head injury.
