 +====== Duane Syndrome ======
  
 +===== Description =====
 +
 +  * Congenital abnormality of the 6th cranial nerve
 +    * 4th-8th week of gestation
 +    * Missing nucleus in most cases (4th week)
 +  * Abnormal innervation from 3rd cranial nerve
 +
 +^Type^Abduction^Adduction^Deviation^Frequency^
 +|I|Poor|Normal|Ortho- or Esotropia|70%|
 +|II|Normal|Poor|Ortho- or Exotropia|15%|
 +|III|Poor|Poor|Ortho-, Eso- or Exotropia|15%|
 +
 +===== Clinical Characteristics =====
 +
 +  * Most sporadic, 5% autosomal dominant inheritance
 +  * More common in females than males.
 +  * OS affected more often than OD.
 +  * 80% of cases are unilateral, when bilateral it is usually asymmetric.
 +  * Gender and Laterality:
 +
 +^Female^Male^OS^OD^OU^
 +|58%|42%|59%|23%|18%|
 +
 +  * Gender and Laterality in 835 cases of Duane Syndrome. DeRespinis PA, Wagner RS, Guo S; Duane’s Retraction Syndrome. Surv Ophthalmol 38:257, 1993
 +
 +===== Exam Findings =====
 +  * Narrowing of the palpebral fissure and retraction of the globe of the involved eye on attempted adduction.
 +  * The amount of limitation depends on the amount of co-contraction of the medial rectus and lateral rectus.
 +  * Abnormal firing of the lateral rectus is found with EMG testing.
 +  * Angle of deviation almost always less than 30D , usually less than 15D .
 +  * Face turn toward the side of limited movement- permits fusion.
 +  * Anisometropic Ambylopia 10-30%
 +  * Ipsilateral congenital hearing loss 5%
 +
 +===== Selected Associated Syndromes =====
 +
 +  * Most cases are isolated
 +  * **Goldenhar syndrome** (hemifacial microsomia, ocular dermoids, ear abnormalities, preauricular skin tags, eyelid colobomas)
 +  * **Wildervanck syndrome** (sensorineural hearing loss, Klippel-Feil anomaly- shortness of neck with fused or missing vertebrae)
 +
 +===== Treatment =====
 +
 +  * Treat Refractive Error
 +  * Consider treating Hyperopia > +2.50 if ET
 +  * Treat Amblyopia
 +  * Goals of Surgery:
 +    * Improve primary position alignment
 +    * Improve head turn
 +    * Decrease up-shoot or down-shoot
 +  * Surgical Treatment Possibilities
 +    * Eso-Duanes
 +      * Medial Rectus (MR) Recession
 +      * Bilateral Medial Rectus Recessions
 +      * Superior Rectus and/or Inferior Rectus transpositions
 +    * Exo-Duanes
 +      * Lateral Rectus (LR) Recession(s)
 +    * Up-shoots/Down-shoots
 +      * Recession with Y split or posterior fixation of LR
