DUANE’S RETRACTION SYNDROME is a congenital form of strabismus characterized by horizontal eye movement limitation and globe retraction with palpebral fissure narrowing on adduction. It’s due to failure of innervation of lateral rectus due to hypoplastic sixth cranial nerve nucleus and anomalous innervation of lateral rectus by

the third cranial nerve.
