New considerations about Duane’s syndrome

DOI: 10.1590/S0034-72802009000200009

The author presents his arguments to state that the Duane’s syndrome type III of the Huber’s classification does not exist. He takes the chance of those arguments to show why the medial rectus muscle recession in Duane’s syndrome with esotropia cripples the adduction more that it does in esotropias of other origins. He shows also why one must recess also the sound eye’s medial rectus in Duane’s syndrome with esotropia.
