Duane Retraction Syndrome (DRS) This condition was originally described at the end of the 19th century. In 1905 Duane described 54 cases, summarized all the clinical findings, reviewed previous work, and offered theories on pathogenesis and treatment. DRS more frequently occurs in the left eye than in the right, and in females more than in males. Bilateral involvement is less frequent than unilateral occurrence. In several large series, the ratio of right eye to left eye involvement was 1:3, the prevalence of bilaterality was 20 per cent, and there was a slight preponderance of females over males (54 per cent versus 46 per cent). This condition is found in approximately 1 per cent of individuals with strabismus. Clinical Manifestations The most characteristic clinical findings in DRS include an absence of abduction of an eye with slight limitation of adduction, retraction of the globe in attempted adduction, and up- and downshooting, or both in adduction. Huber, with the support of electromyography, provided a useful classification of DRS into three types: Type I. Marked limitation or complete absence of abduction, normal or only slightly restrict adduction, narrowing of the palpebral fissure and retraction of the globe on adduction, and widening of the palpebral fissure on attempted abduction. Electromyography shows absence of electrical activity in the lateral rectus muscle on abduction, but paradoxic electrical activity on adduction.

Duane's Retraction Syndrome Duane's retraction syndrome. Signs and symptoms: Duane's retraction syndrome (DRS) is a congenital disorder of ocular motility characterized by lim ited abduction, adduction or both. It is unilateral in 80% of cases. The hall mark clinical signs are the classic retraction of the globe and narrowing of the palpebral fissure on eye movement. Studies reveal a preponderance of cases (66%) involving the left eye. Other observations include exotropia in primary gaze (35%), crocodile-tearing phenomena (tearing while chewing, 12%), abduction deficit, globe retraction on attempted adduction, and compensatory face turn to maintain single simultaneous binocular vision. Undiagnosed or uncorrected DRS can lead to amblyopic vision loss. DRS has three presentations. Type 1 occurs in 85% of cases and predominantly in females (60%). It presents with an abduction palsy with globe retraction on attempted adduction. Type II DRS occurs in 14% of cases, and presents as an adduction palsy, globe retraction on attempted adduction and intact abduction. Type-III DRS comprises 1% of cases; both abduction and adduction limitations with any form of horizontal strabismus characterize this type. All cases may present with the "tether" phenomenon, with over-elevation or over-depression in adduction.

There are three types of DRS that share common features. The condition may affect one or both eyes. DRS more commonly affects the left eye and is more common in girls. The reasons for this are not yet known. In DRS there is an abnormality of horizontal eye movements resulting in restriction of the affected eye from turning outwards or inwards or in both directions. As the eye is turned in toward the nose (called adduction) the eyelids narrow as the eye is apparently drawn back (retracted). As the affected eye is turned outwards (abducted), the eye lids widen. There may be associated vertical eye movement changes causing an up shoot or down shoot. Individuals who are affected with DRS may also have a squint (strabismus) when they look straight ahead. It is possible to have good vision in each eye with stereo vision. However, in order to maintain stereo vision, individuals with DRS may adopt a face turn.

Am Orthopt J 43:18-26 (1993) Surgery for Duane Syndrome Stephen P. Kraft, M.D., F.R.C.S.C. Duane retraction syndrome is a spectrum of eye motility disorders whose common feature is retraction of the affected eye on adduction. The presumed cause is aberrant innervation of the third cranial nerve to the lateral rectus muscle, which co-contracts with the medial rectus on adduction. This article reviews my surgical approach for treating Duane syndrome. It involves the analysis of five aspects of the patient's clinical presentation: laterality, primary position alignment, compensatory head posture, severity of retraction, and presence of upshoots or downshoots on adduction. This analysis allows me to devise an individualized surgical plan for each patient to treat all of the anomalies in one operation.

Research: Duane syndrome Clinical classification and description Radial ray anomalies Clinical evaluation Genetics ... Congenital Ptosis Duane syndrome Eye Muscle Anatomy How linkage analysis is done Participation in research Our laboratory is studying the genetic basis of Duane syndrome, but we have not yet identified any Duane syndrome gene loci. Duane syndrome (DS) is an eye movement disorder present at birth (congenital) characterized by a limited ability to move an eye inward towards the nose (adduction), outward towards the ear (abduction), or in both directions. In addition, when the affected eye(s) move inward towards the nose, the eyeball retracts (pulls in) and the eye opening (palpebral fissure) narrows. In some cases when the eye attempts to look inward, it moves upwards (upshoot) or downwards (downshoot). Similar to CFEOM, Duane syndrome falls under the larger heading of strabismus (misalignment of the eyes) under the subclassification of incomitant strabimsus (misalignment of the eyes which varies with gaze directions) and subheading of extraocular muscle fibrosis syndromes (conditions associated with restriction of both active and passive movement of the eyeball). Although "muscle fibrosis" suggests that syndromes under this heading are primary disorders of muscle, evidence suggests that DS (and other syndromes under this heading, including CFEOM) may actually be primary disorders of nerve innervation. A review of fibrosis syndromes can be found in Engle 1998.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Duane Syndrome Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: Duane’s syndrome, Duane retraction syndrome, congenital retraction syndrome, DRS, Stilling-Turk-Duane retraction syndrome Please click here to view the full topic text: Duane Syndrome Background: Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) was first described in the later part of the 19th century by Sinclair (1895), Bahr (1896), Stilling (1887), Turk (1899), and Wolff (1900). However, in 1905 when Duane described 54 cases, summarized all the clinical findings, reviewed previous work, and offered theories on pathogenesis and treatment. In 1974, Huber, with the support of electromyography and following the suggestions of Lyle and Malbran, classified DRS into the following 3 types: Duane 1, Duane 2, and Duane 3. Duane syndrome is a congenital ocular motility disorder characterized by limited abduction and/or limited adduction. The palpebral fissure narrows (the globe retracts) on attempted adduction. Upward or downward deviation may occur with attempted adduction due to a leash effect. Often associated with this condition is a “tether” phenomenon consisting of overelevation, overdepression, or both, in adduction as the retracted globe escapes from its horizontal rectus restrictions. It is a condition of aberrant innervation that results in co-contraction of the medial and lateral recti in the affected eye. Thus, Duane syndrome can be considered to be a congenital miswiring of the medial and the lateral rectus muscles such that globe retraction occurs on adduction.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Globe Retraction Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: enophthalmos Please click here to view the full topic text: Globe Retraction Background: Globe retraction occurs when globe is displaced deeper within the orbit from its normal position. It may occur from active co-contraction of the horizontal rectus muscles such as in Duane retraction syndrome. Patients with Duane syndrome have strabismus, upshooting or downshooting eye movements, and narrowing of palpebral fissure and retraction of globe on adduction. Enlargement of orbital cavity after blowout fractures also may cause the globe to be retracted. It may be due to prolapse of orbital contents into adjacent sinus, atrophy of orbital fat, or contracture of necrotic extraocular muscles entrapped within the fracture. Globe retraction also can be seen in metastatic scirrhous breast carcinoma from cicatrization of orbital tissue. Although less common, some cases of sclerosing orbital pseudotumor have been reported to cause globe retraction. A thorough history and examination are required to determine appropriate management for patients with globe retraction. Pathophysiology: Mechanism for globe retraction in Duane retraction syndrome is believed to be anomalous innervation of lateral rectus muscles from branches of oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III). Both electromyographic and autopsy studies in Duane syndrome patients have demonstrated this anomalous innervation. In attempted adduction, simultaneous contractions of lateral and medial rectus muscles cause the globe to retract. Anomalous innervation between medial rectus and vertical rectus or oblique muscles also may explain upshoots and downshoots seen in adduction.

Duane syndrome Authors: Doctors Elena Piozzi and Cristina Patrosso Scientific Editor: Doctor Maria Teresa Marsili Creation date: December 2002 Disease name and synonyms Duane syndrome Stilling-Turk-Duane Congenital retraction syndrome The syndrome was first described in the last part of the 19th century by Hueck (1879), Stilling (1887) and Turk (1896). It was defined as a clinical entity by Duane in 1905 and Duane syndrome is the most commonly used name for the disorder. Diagnosis criteria/Definition Duane syndrome is a congenital disorder of ocular motility characterized by horizontal eye movement limitation, globe retraction with palpebral fissure narrowing in attempted adduction (1,2,3,4,5). As suggested by Huber (6), Duane syndrome can be divided into three different types, depending on the distribution or development of aberrant innervation (2,7). - Type I: Defective abduction , normal or minimal defective adduction. - Type II: Defective adduction, normal abduction, there is exotropia of the affected eye. - Type III: Defective abduction and adduction.

Thursday, 10:15 Ð 11:15 am A New Way to Enhance Abduction in Selected Patients with Duane Retraction Syndrome James L. Mims, III, M.D. University of Texas Health Science Center - San Antonio San Antonio, Texas Introduction: Patients with Duane Retraction Syndrome (DRS) may be designated as eso DRS, ortho DRS, or exo DRS according to their primary position deviation. A recent publication suggested using very small (3 mm) lateral rectus (LR) resections and moderate (4-5 mm) medial rectus (MR) recessions for eso DRS patients who have few signs of co-contraction. Saunders et al have published descriptions of 3 patients with DRS with exotropia in the primary position (exo DRS) whose face turns were eliminated with large recessions (8 to 12 mm) of the other (non-Duane's) lateral rectus. The purpose of this paper is to describe the results of treating 5 patients with unilateral ortho DRS, for whom the parents' primary concern was the severe limitation of abduction of the Duane's eye. For these 5 patients, we performed recess-resect for the Duane's eye, intentionally creating an exo DRS, and curing the induced exotropia at the same surgery with a large recession of the LR of the non-Duane's eye. Methods: Five cases with little or no signs of co-contraction were selected, because the recess-resect (2 mm resection, 4 mm recession) of the Duane's eye would make any co-contraction worse. All 5 cases also received Posterior Fixation Sutures on the medial rectus of the non-Duane's eye.
