    Abstract:
    A case of traumatic bilateral medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) syndrome is reported. An 18-year-old man who had been struck on the occipital region in a traffic accident was admitted to our center. On admission, the consciousness evaluated by the Japan Coma Scale was 30. Skull X-ray film revealed a linear skull fracture of the left occipital bone. CT scan showed subdural hematoma in the right frontotemporal region, contusion of bilateral frontal lobes and the left cerebellar hemisphere, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and pneumoce phalus. Two weeks after the injury, his consciousness improved and he was diagnosed as having bilateral MLF syndrome. Barbiturate, dehydration and steroid therapy were added to for intracranial hemorrhage. One month later, MLF syndrome improved and he was discharged without any neurological deficit.
