Abstract
We report a case of trochlear or superior
oblique muscle injury folllowing a history of motorvehicle accident. Patient, a
28-year-old Malay gentleman with history of alleged a motorvehicle accident
sustained right eye upper and lower lid laceration wound with normal vision on
presentation. 1-month post trauma, patient’s vision fluctuates with bilateral ophthalmoplegia.
Imaging and other test done were normal which in turn increases suspicion on
malingering. He had a delayed onset of possible trochlear or superior oblique
muscle injury. With patching of the affected eye, partial recovery of fellow
eye was present after the 4th week. The indication for surgical intervention
should be delayed to give room for spontaneous recovery.
