purpose: to report a case of duane's retraction syndrome with dry eye. patient and findings: an 18-year-old girl presented with chief complaint of limited abduction in her right eye. best corrected visual acuity was od: 8/10 and os: 9/10. ocular motility examination revealed severe abduction limitation (-4), mild adduction limitation (-1), and moderate upshoot and mild downshoot in the rig...

duane’s retraction syndrome (drs) type i is often associated with esotropia (et) and face turn in those with fusion. this study was designed to delineate the quantitative relationship between the angles of eye deviation with that of face turn. ten patients with drs type i with et and face turn toward the deviated eye, who had central fixation, were chosen. esodeviation was measured by alternate...

purpose: to report clinical features, types, and results of surgery for duane’s retraction syndrome (drs). methods: this is an existing data study on the records of patients with drs. the study was conducted on the hospital records of patients who were referred for drs to a tertiacy eye center in tehran, iran during 8 years. the follow-up period after the surgery was at least 6 months. results:...

Also, evidence for "formes frustes" of Duanes' syndrome in other family members in the forni of pareses of oculomotor muscles other than the lateral rectus or of slight narrowing of the palpebral fissure on adduction, has been reported by FranSois and de Vos (I958) and by Orlowski, Krych, and MIichniowska-Leonowicz (I96I). Most of the above observations have been confined to single sibships, or...

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. The patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging o...

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.

the silent sinus syndrome (sss) involves painless facial asymmetry and enophthalmos, which is theresult of chronic maxillary sinus atelectasis. in most cases, it is diagnosed clinically, however, usingthe characteristic imaging features including maxillary sinus outlet obstruction, sinus opacification,and sinus volume loss caused by inward retraction of the sinus walls. obstruction of the maxil...

As a culture-bound syndrome, koro is described in the DSM-IV as “an episode of sudden and intense anxiety that the penis (or, in females, the vulva and the nipples) will recede into the body and possibly cause death.” Sometimes the syndrome may occur as an epidemic involving several hundreds to thousands of people within a short period of time. While the syndrome individually involves an anxiet...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to visualize the subarachnoid portion of the nervus abducens by magnetic resonance imaging and to analyze whether aplasia of the nervus abducens is an etiologic factor in Duane's retraction syndrome. METHODS We performed thin-sectioned magnetic resonance imaging across the brainstem level in 8 cases (11 eyes) that were clinically diagnosed as Duane's retracti...
