  • Title: Abducens nerve palsy associated with a clival epidural hematoma.
    Author: Topcu-Yilmaz P, Repka MX.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2011 Feb; 15(1):69-70. PubMed ID: 21315630.
    Abstract:
    A clival epidural hematoma is a rare lesion that usually develops after a hyperflexion or hyperextension injury of the neck, often in a child. A 5-year-old girl presented after a motor vehicle accident with multiple cranial neuropathies, including bilateral abducens nerve pareses and right facial, glossopharyngeal, and hypoglossal cranial nerve palsies. Neuroimaging identified a clival epidural hematoma. The child was observed and the hematoma resolved. The abducens nerve palsies resolved during the ensuing 14 months.
