It presents during childhood and it accounts for less than 5% of cases of strabismus 1. [radiopaedia.org]

In unilateral DRS, Type I was present in 72 (78.26 %), Type II was present in 2 (2.17%), Type III was present in 18 (19.57%) patients. [djo.org.in]

Duane's Syndrome (type I) It may be confused with a paralysis of the muscle which causes the eye to turn outwards (lateral rectus) resulting in an unnecessary neurological workup. [strabismus.org]

Approach to the patient: an overview The above review emphasizes the need to extend patient evaluation in cases of DRS beyond the routine clinical examination by a strabismologist to genetic analysis, systemic workup and neuroimaging. [dovepress.com]

Orthoptic vision therapy is a treatment alternative in DRS patients. [dovepress.com]

Treatment Treatment Options: Various treatments can be useful, ranging from prisms for mild cases to muscle surgery for a severe head turn or vertical deviations. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Prognosis Isolated DRS is a benign disorder which, if managed appropriately, results in excellent long term prognosis for vision. In some cases, amblyopia or loss of binocular single vision might develop. [orpha.net]

With careful follow-up, the long-term prognosis for good vision is usually excellent. [aapos.org]

Prognosis Duane syndrome represents a spectrum of motility disorders in which the common feature is retraction of the affected eye on attempted adduction. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The underlying etiology of DRS is a defect in some of the eye muscles (specifically the lateral and medial rectus muscles) receiving proper signal from the cranial nerves that innervate them. [cags.org.ae]

Etiology DRS results from failure of normal development of the pontine abducens nucleus or nerve resulting in failure of the normal innervation of the lateral rectus muscle on the affected side. [orpha.net]

The etiology of this disorder may be due to an environmental or tetrogenic event; for example, thalidomide embryopathy between the fourth and eighth weeks of gestation. [collections.lib.utah.edu]

How do you Prevent Duane’s Syndrome? Sporadic Duane’s syndrome cannot be prevented as they occur spontaneously in offspring of normal parents. [medindia.net]

The goal of treatment is to restore satisfactory eye alignment in the straight-ahead position, eliminate abnormal head posture, and prevent amblyopia. [eyehealthweb.com]

This condition prevents outward movement of the eye (toward the ear), and in some cases may also limit inward eye movement (toward the nose). As the eye moves inward, the eyelids partially close and the eyeball pulls back (retracts) into its socket. [resourcerepository.org]

Surveillance is necessary to prevent or detect amblyopia. Vision therapy is advised for secondary convergence insufficiency. [orpha.net]
