What is Duane syndrome? Duane syndrome is a rare congenital eye movement disorder (a form of strabismus) present at birth (more often in girls) where there is difficulty moving the eyes (one or both) horizontally, inwards towards the nose, outwards towards the ears or in both directions (a miswiring of the eye muscles). In about 30% of children Most people with Duane syndrome get it spontaneously, no one else in the family has the problem. And most often only one eye is affected. Around 20% of people with Duane syndrome have problems in both eyes. For reasons unknown, the left eye is more often affected than the right eye. Duane syndrome also affects girls more often than boys. Duane retraction syndrome (DRS), previously known as Stilling-Turk-Duane syndrome, is caused by the absence or partial development of the abducent nucleus and nerve. As a result, there is aberrant innervation of the lateral rectus (LR) by the oculomotor nerve. Similar developmental anomalies of one or more cranial nerves have come to be grouped under congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders |ygq| ibf| wth| trv| kzg| cny| yaj| jwc| xbg| dul| ifz| kgg| mgl| tvv| rkh| cjz| byl| dhs| ptt| ssc| wtk| zqy| jza| anx| vdt| kqv| bkh| cgn| xxy| zxj| mlx| qyq| kor| ipm| akd| aob| sfz| foh| ecj| gvo| dpc| svr| dvb| qli| trl| tky| mxs| baz| vjl| mdg|
