  • Title: Bilateral augmented superior rectus transposition with medial rectus recession for bilateral esotropic Duane retraction syndrome.
    Author: Sachdeva V, Jain M, Badakere A, Kekunnaya R.
    Journal: J AAPOS; 2021 Apr; 25(2):116-119. PubMed ID: 33601043.
    Abstract:
    Superior rectus transposition with medial rectus recession is commonly performed for unilateral esotropic Duane syndrome. For bilateral esotropic Duane syndrome, bilateral medial rectus recession is the most frequently performed surgery and usually provides satisfactory alignment in primary position; however, there is limited improvement in abduction. We report the outcomes of bilateral augmented superior rectus transposition and medial rectus recession in 4 patients with bilateral esotropic Duane syndrome. Postoperatively, abduction was improved in all patients; 3 were orthotropic in the primary position, and 1 had residual esotropia.
