Congenital inverse Duane's retraction syndrome: A rare presentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 12-year-old girl presented with esotropia and face turn since birth. Ocular motility examination showed restricted abduction associated with down shoot and retraction on attempted abduction characteristic of inverse Duane's retraction syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the very few reported cases of congenital inverse Duane's retraction syndrome.

PURPOSE To study the neuroanatomic characteristics of patients with Duane's retraction syndrome with high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS The study included 11 consecutive cases, including five patients with type I, one patient with type II, four patients with type III, and one patient with inverse Duane's retraction syndrome.

متن کاملCongenital sixth nerve palsy with associated anomalies
Congenital abduction deficit is most likely due to Duane's retraction syndrome as congenital abducens nerve palsy is very rare. We report two cases of infantile abduction deficit due to sixth nerve palsy associated with other anomalies to highlight the importance of including neuroimaging in the evaluation of an infant presenting with a limitation of abduction.
متن کاملIs Duane retraction syndrome part of the VACTERL association?
We report here a patient with type 1 Duane's retraction syndrome and multiple congenital abnormalities as a result of the VACTERL association. The presented combination of Duane's retraction syndrome and the VACTERL association has not been reported in the literature. The present case was instructive for reviewing the continuous spectrum of ocular anomalies that accompany the VACTERL association.

The occurrence from birth of copious lacrimation on eating in some patients with Duane's syndrome suggests that both are caused by dysgenesis or a lesion in the vicinity of the abducens nucleus in the pons.

Duane (I905) emphasized six features of a characteristic congenital ocular motility syndrome: (i) Complete, or less often partial, loss of abduction of the affected eye; (2) Partial, or rarely complete, restriction of adduction of the aHected eye; (3) Retraction of the affected eye into the orbit on adduction; (4) Oblique overshoot of the affected eye either up and in or down and in on adductio...
