Summary: Sixth nerve palsy may occur as a result of elevated intracranial pressure, neoplasm or trauma. Management is symptomatic disorder include occlusion with an eye pad may be used if diplopia is significant. In young children alternate day occlusion of each eye will help prevent amblyopia. Most cases improve within three months and many resolve by six months. Residual palsy at six months is likely to be permanent and surgical treatment may be needed. The authors present a case of a 15-year old boy after cranial trauma, who was operated due to sixth nerve palsy.
