Traumatic detachment of the superior oblique muscle from the trochlea is very rare. The authors present a case of cyclovertical diplopia in downgaze due to traumatic trochlear damage where they performed surgery more than 40 years later. For the first time ever, they describe the reconstruction of the trochlea using a silicone tube, thereby regaining superior oblique muscle function.
