Abstract
Clinical caseA patient diagnosed with Duane syndrome underwent an augmented superior rectus transposition (SRT) to lateral rectus (LR) and medial rectus (MR) recession. Vertical, torsional deviation and diplopia were observed post-operatively. Removal of the Foster suture and superior rectus recession resolved the symptoms. DiscussionSRT to LR is proposed in Duane syndrome with a favorable outcome. The benefit of SRT is open to debate. It could be an alternative for the vertical rectus transposition when MR recession has to be operated on in the same procedure, or in the immediate post-operative period, in order to decrease the risk of anterior segment ischaemia.
