A 27 year old Eurasian woman with a 13 year history of scleroderma (progressive systemic sclerosis) developed typical features of Superior oblique syndrome (Brown’s syndrome), which spontaneously resolved after 12 months, leaving a palpable nodule in the left superior oblique tendon. The aetiology and associations of this disorder are briefly reviewed.
