Abstract:
:A 1-month-old boy was evaluated after a fall from a height of 3 feet and found to have right parietal skull fracture as well as right and left frontal traumatic hemorrhage. Ten days after the injury, he represented with a persistent left gaze preference. Further workup including MRI and EEG determined that this finding was most likely due to a small, focal, left-frontal eye field lesion. We review the horizontal gaze pathway and demonstrate that this is present at this very young age, and that a very focal and relatively minor injury can cause gaze disturbance.
