  • Title: Duane syndrome with prominent oculo-auricular phenomenon.
    Author: Gilbert AL, Hunter DG.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2017 Apr; 21(2):165-167. PubMed ID: 27965142.
    Abstract:
    Duane syndrome is a congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder involving absent or anomalous innervation of the lateral and medial rectus muscles that is sometimes associated with other manifestations of dysinnervation. We describe a patient with right esotropic Duane syndrome with a long-standing retroauricular tugging sensation in right gaze who was noted to have prominent ipsilateral oculo-auricular phenomenon, representing either abnormal enhancement of existing innervation or an uncommon dysinnervation. After successful strabismus surgery the tugging sensation improved but the phenomenon could still be elicited.
