Delayed unilateral abducens nerve palsy following contralateral post-traumatic epidural hematoma.
A 26-year-old Asian woman presented with diplopia occurring at 1 week after conservative treatment for left temporal bone fracture and left temporo-occipital epidural hematoma (EDH). At presentation, right abducens nerve palsy was observed with esotropia and abduction limitation in the right eye. Six weeks later, the abducens nerve palsy fully recovered with complete absorption of the EDH.
