    Author: Muthukumar N, Veerarajkumar N, Madeswaran K.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 2001 May; 17(6):366-9. PubMed ID: 11417420.
    Abstract:
    A 7-year-old child presented with bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) following a trivial head injury. CT was normal. MRI revealed a pontine lesion. Two months after the injury the patient was neurologically normal. INO following head injury is rare. Rarer still is INO following mild head injury. To date, only four cases of INO had been reported following mild head injury; the present case is the fifth and the first in which the lesion was documented using MRI. The relevant literature is reviewed.
