Duane's Syndrome?

Answer 1

Also referred to as:
Crossed Eyes

Duane's syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by inability of one or both eyes to turn outwards beyond the midline (known as an abduction deficit). In some cases there is also a deficit of inward motility of the eye (turning toward the nose) known as an adduction deficit. Classically, on attempted adduction there is retraction of the eye into the socket producing narrowing of the eyelids. Both eyes are involved in about 20% of patients and females are affected more often than males. Interestingly, left eyes are more often involved than right eyes. The condition is usually noted by the parents or pediatrician as a "crooked eye." There are three types of Duane's syndrome.

Duane's syndrome type I demonstrates normal adduction (turning in) but abnormal abduction (turning out). Type II shows relatively normal abduction but abnormal adduction. Type III shows both limited abduction and adduction.

Surgical management of Duane's syndrome may be quite helpful in restoring some motility in the deficient field(s) of gaze. Multiple procedures are utilized depending on the type of Duane's syndrome and the limitation of motility.

Answer 2

Are you Duane, do you have some kind of syndrome? Lol, ok I know it's not funny. I've never heard of this. Sorry! I'm just being a smart***. Although you might want to elaborate on your question. Do you want to know about it, or what causes it, etc? Good luck to you!
