    Author: Nelson LB.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1986 Jun; 104(6):859-62. PubMed ID: 3718311.
    Abstract:
    Duane's retraction syndrome is a congenital eye movement disorder characterized by a deficiency of abduction, mild limitation of adduction, with retraction and narrowing of the palpebral fissure on attempted adduction. Two patients with this condition had a large medial rectus recession for a cosmetically unacceptable face turn and esotropia in primary position. Both patients had the unusual complication of severe limitation of adduction postoperatively.
