What Is Duane Syndrome?

Duane's syndrome is a congenital dysplasia of the eye, also known as eye retraction syndrome. It is manifested as a monocular abduction disorder with limited adduction. The eye retracts, narrows, and rises during adduction. Or downward deflection, and there are incomplete convergence and so on. It was first reported by Stilling in 1889. Duane made a detailed analysis of the traits in 1905. It is also called Stilling syndrome; Turk-Stilling syndrome; Stilling-Turk-Duane syndrome; Duane congenital retraction syndrome; Duane eyeball Retraction syndrome; Stilling-Turk-Duane retraction syndrome. Essence may be related to abnormal development of the central nervous system, perhaps due to embryonic developmental disorders or cerebral circulation disorders that occur before and after birth. 5% to 10% of the cases have a family history, are autosomal dominant, and often have regular and incomplete penetrance. Birth injuries can also be caused. [1]
