4. aka
Duane’s retraction syndrome or Stilting-Turk
Syndrome
a congenital eye movement disorder due to
misdirection of the nerve fiber on eye muscle
causing some eye muscle to contract when they
shouldn’t, vice versa
can
be unilateral or bilateral
Usually congenital but may be acquired
Affects females to males in ratio of 3:2
May be associated with other defects such as
deafness, anisometropia etc.
5. 1.
Mechanical factors
fibrosed LR
abnormally insertion of MR
binding of MR sheath to wall
2.
Embryonic factors
Disturbance in normal embryonic development during 2nd
month of gestation
3.
4.
Development of 3rd, 4th, and 6th cranial nerve occur
Paradoxical innervation
Increase innervation to both MR & LR during ADD and
relaxation of both MR & LR during ABD
Trauma
6. limitation of abduction with or without limitation of
adduction
attempt adduction: retraction of the globe with narrowing
of fissure
Protrusion & widening of the palpebral fissure on
abduction
May or may not have AHP
Possible defect of convergence
Strabismus
May have updrift or downdrift on adduction with A or V
pattern
Amblyopia if not adopted AHP
Generally positive forced duction test (done by
ophthalmologist)
7. Clinically,
it is often subdivided into 4 types with
associated symptoms:
1. Type 1
2. Type 2
3. Type 3
4. Type 4
Each
of the group can be further classified into 3
subgroups depends on where the eyes are when on
the primary gaze:
Subgroup A (Effected eye looks esotropia)
Subgroup B (Effected eye looks exotropia)
Subgroup C (Effected eye looks almost orthophoria)

still reduced.
• TCA 3/12 to review RA and
NPC.
5TH FOLLOW UP VISIT

RE hyperope and
astigmatism. Flat cornea from

Poor convergence, poor
prognosis as suppress RE

• Continue pen-to-nose
exercise coupled with
physiological diplopia
awareness.
• TCA 3/12 to review RA and
NPC.
6TH FOLLOW UP VISIT
(3/11/2013)

22. History
taking
During history taking, we need to ask about the age of
presentation.
Because this syndrome may be occurs during first year
of life, but occasionally later.
Treatment need to give as early as possible for better
prognosis of vision and patient’s condition.
23. Visual acuity
Visits
RE
Visual

acuity
Visual acutiy is good
if BSV maintained and
no anisometropia and
amblyopia occur.
Important to detect
and treat the
underlying causes
within plastic ages to
avoid development of
amblyopic eyes.

24. Abnormal
Head
Posture (AHP)
Face turn to affected
side in types A and B.
Face turn to unaffected
side in type C.
For this patient, the
examiner detected
patient had face turn to
the left (affected side).
Visits
AHP
23/4/2012
Sometimes chin down
3/11/2013
Face turn to the left
and chin up in primary
position slightly.
25. Cover
test
BSV often maintained with AHP.
Without AHP, types A and B – esotropia. Type C –
exotropia.
In this patient all clinical findings are showed patient
had slightly exo deviation.
Probably had type 3? Confused and indistinct
classification.
26. Ocular
motility
limitation of abduction with or without limitation of
adduction
attempt adduction: retraction of the globe with narrowing of
fissure
Protrusion & widening of the palpebral fissure on abduction
May or may not have AHP
Possible defect of convergence
Strabismus
May have updrift or downdrift on adduction with A or V
pattern
Amblyopia if not adopted AHP
27.
Hess screen test
Additional test- Hess chart: to investigate incomitant strabismus
in order to asses paretic element .
May show a large restriction for a small deviation in primary
position.
Alternative may use binocular Bjerrum visual field.
Examples of Hess screen chart result among Duane’s Syndrome Type 1.
28. Type A
Abduction and
adduction are
both defective
but abduction
is more
defective than
adduction.
Optometric impression Type B
follows Lyle’s
classification.
Patient had LE
Duane’s retraction
Type C
syndrome Type A.
Defective
abduction only,
adduction is
normal.
Optometric
impression
Abduction and
adduction are
both defective,
but adduction is
more defective
than abduction.

if:
• Marked AHP
• Decompensating
• Cosmetically poor

• Diplopia occuring
more frequent
30. Duane’s
syndrome is a congenital eye movement
disorder in which there is miswiring of the eye
muscles that typically can be recognized through a
few ocular signs and symptoms.
As an optometrist, we should smartly recognized
this syndrome according to the history taking and
clinical findings in order to make an accurate
diagnosis.
Although the syndrome is permanent, further
managements is crucial in order to solve patient’s
problems such as marked AHP and also on.
