  • Title: Management of sixth nerve palsy and Duane's retraction syndrome.
    Author: Wybar KC.
    Journal: Trans Ophthalmol Soc U K (1962); 1981; 101 (Pt 2)():276-8. PubMed ID: 6964259.
    Abstract:
    In sixth nerve palsy the role of a muscle-transposing procedure, as compared with a recession-resection procedure, is discussed, and reference is made to the special problems when the palsy is the result of hydrocephalus with frequently an associated A phenomenon. In Duane's retraction syndrome, surgical treatment should be limited as a general rule to a restoration of binocular function in the primary position with elimination of the compensatory head posture, because of an understanding of the underlying anomaly of innervation.
