NARANJO FERNANDEZ, Rosa M; MENDEZ SANCHEZ, Teresita de J; HERNANDEZ SANTOS, Lourdes R and PADILLA GONZALEZ, Carmen M. Duane's syndrome: Apropos of 17 cases . Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2002, vol.15, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.
A descriptive and retrospective study was conducted among 17 patients with diagnosis of Duane's Syndrome that were seen at the consultation room of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, from 1997 to 2000. The following variables were used: sex, type of Duane, affected eye, surgical criterion and refractive defect. 88 % were females, corresponded to type I Duane, the left eye was affected in 76 % of the cases, 64 % presented critical criterion by esotropia and torticollis, and the refractive defect was detected in 65 % of the studied sample. Similar results as regards sex, type of Duane, affected eye and surgical criterion were found in the observations made by other authors. The hypermetropic astigmatism was the commonest refractive defect
