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.

Article Synopsis
- Synergistic divergence, or type IV Duane syndrome, is a congenital disorder marked by unusual eye muscle control leading to both eyes moving outward when trying to look to one side.
- A case study of a 23-year-old man highlighted his strabismus surgery to address a significant right exotropia and a left head turn developed for better vision since childhood.
- The surgery involved a combination of a 14 mm recession of the right lateral rectus and a 10 mm resection of the right medial rectus, suggesting this approach as an effective treatment for the condition.

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.
