Abstract

Oculomotor synkinesis is an unusual phenomenon that encompasses various presentations with few associations reported in the literature. It can occur with or without a previous setting of oculomotor nerve injury. The authors present the first reported case of bilateral congenital trochlear-oculomotor synkinesis in a 5-month-old infant. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2024;61(5):e50-e53.].
