Sumario:A 15-year-old male presented with double vision in the left and upward gaze following a hit in the right orbital region. The orthoptic assessment revealed -2 limitation of elevation in the adduction position of the right eye and right hypotropia of 20 prism diopter (PD) in the left gaze and right hypotropia of 10 PD in the upward gaze. He was diagnosed with traumatic Brown syndrome and planned for superior oblique lengthening surgery for the right eye. Two months postoperatively, the patient has a normal extra-ocular motor function with the elimination of diplopia and significant improvement of elevation of the right eye in the adduction position. Herein, we discuss the clinical features, etiologies, tailored evaluation, and management for the patient with traumatic Brown syndrome.
