Surgical management of enophthalmos in Duane syndrome

J Craniofac Surg. 2013 Mar;24(2):518-9. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0b013e318280221d.

Abstract

Duane syndrome is a congenital disorder of eye movement characterized by partial or absent development of the sixth cranial nerve nucleus and/or the sixth nerve itself. Patients often undergo procedures, both surgical and nonsurgical, to correct ocular misalignment and improve the resulting visual problems. We present a case report of a 49-year-old woman with left-sided Duane syndrome who underwent aesthetic surgical correction of enophthalmos.
