A 36-year-old female paitent developed diplopia and an ipsilateral lateral rectus paresis following local anesthetic administration to remove a left maxillary second molar. Complete resolution occurred within 3 hours. The clinical examination and management plan are reviewed for this uncommon occurrence. The relevant anatomical pathways are discussed and illustrated with photographs.
