Duane's syndrome with compressive denervation of the lateral rectus muscle.

Abstract

PURPOSE:

To describe an unusual case of Duane's syndrome.

METHODS:

Individual case report.

RESULTS:

A skull base meningioma was discovered in a woman with Duane's syndrome who presented with recurrent, large-angle esotropia and uncharacteristic atrophy of the lateral rectus muscle on magnetic resonance image (MRI) scan.

CONCLUSION:

Neuroimaging may be useful in unusual cases of Duane's syndrome.
