Synkinetic movements are the coordinated contractions of two different muscles due to congenital or acquired reasons. Aberrant innervations observed among abducens, oculomotorous and trigeminal nerves cause the development of different synkinetic eye movements. In this article it was aimed to examine the clinical features of a patient in whom synergistic convergence developed after a weapon injury.
