Abstract:
Duane's syndrome is a congenital form of strabismus characterized by horizontal eye movement limitation and specifically by globe retraction with palpebral fissure narrowing in attempted adduction. It is usually associated with ocular and systemic pathology. We report a case of 2-year-old girl presenting Duane syndrome associated with crocodile tear syndrome, preauricular tags, and Hirschsprung disease. Through this rare case, we discuss different pathogenic hypotheses of this syndrome and associated abnormalities.
