N2  - The purpose of the study was to present a rare case of post-traumatic Parinaud's syndrome with a history of closed head injury. The clinical characteristics, examination, and management are presented in a 12-year-old boy who was a victim of physical violence at the hands of a young boy who punched him in his chin with his fists, with associated paralysis of the upward gaze of the left eyeball, and convergence nystagmus with pupillary involvement. CT examination indicated posttraumatic lesions in the dorsal midbrain and in the cavity of third ventricle, suggestive of acute hemorrhages. Posttraumatic Parinaud's syndrome is a rare phenomenon that can occur in a case of closed head trauma as contrecoup injury.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
