Abstract
Brown’s syndrome can be congenital or acquired with multiple
causes. It has been described as a ocular complication in various
rheumatic and nonrheumatic diseases. We describe a case of
27‑year‑old female patient with 5 years old history of systemic
scleroderma who developed vertical diplopia, a left head tilt,
and restriction of left eye on elevation in adduction. The patient
responded to systemic steroids with resolution of diplopia.
