The Duane syndrome is a strabismus syndrome which is characterized by congenital non-progressive horizontal ophthalmoplegia which primarily affects the abducens nerve. Approximately 70% of the individuals with the Duane syndrome have an isolated disease. We have described here, a case of bilateral Duane syndrome with associated anamolies.
