Published: January 2004

We report a 14-month-old male with Duane's syndrome and bilateral parietal calvarial defects. This child had no other known medical conditions. The Duane's syndrome involved the left eye. Imaging was demonstrative of bilateral enlarged parietal foramina. We believe this to be the first reported case of simultaneous Duane's syndrome and bilateral giant parietal foramina. Further case reports of our current association are required to determine if these simultaneous findings are spurious or a low-frequency association.

Stilling-Duane syndrome, a congenital condition characterized by aberrant innervation of the lateral rectus muscle and agenesis of the abducent nerve or its nucleus, results in limited horizontal eye movements. It is often misdiagnosed as acquired abducent nerve paralysis. This report highlights the importance of considering Stilling-Duane syndrome in differential diagnoses.

Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the presence, type, and severity of hearing losses in individuals with Duane Retraction Syndrome (DRS), and to ascertain if there are anomalies in the auditory pathways at the brainstem level in DRS, believed to arise from aberrant interaction between cranial nerves and brainstem nuclei.

Study Design: Cross-sectional observational study.

Setting: Tertiary referral centre.

Purpose: This case report describes a child with Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) associated with genetically confirmed Type II Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS). The purpose is to better understand the ocular manifestations of RTS and further explore the possibility that the neurodevelopmental genetic abnormality in RTS may sporadically impact ocular motor nerves.

Observations: A 2-year-old male with a history of Type II RTS associated with a de novo variant of presented for a comprehensive eye examination, which revealed a left esotropia of 20 prism diopters (PD) in primary gaze with a significant left face turn, mild globe retraction on adduction in the left eye, and abduction limitation consistent with Type 1 DRS in the left eye.
