Purtscher’s retinopathy in one and sixth nerve palsy in the other eye following head trauma

Purtscher’s retinopathy in one and sixth nerve palsy in the other eye following head trauma

Purtscher’s retinopathy and sixth nerve palsy are often seen following head trauma. However, both are rarely seen coexisting together in the same patient. We present a rare case of both these entities occurring simultaneously in opposite eyes of the same patient following head trauma.
