Abstract

Objective: Duane syndrome belongs to the most common group of congenital retraction syndromes with varied clinical presentation. Abnormal vertical eye movements (overshoot) occur in 25 – 39% of patients. The purpose of this article was to present 2 case studies were performed recession of lateral rectus muscle with Y – splitting in the treatment of overshoot. Subjects and methods: 2 case reports with Duane Syndrome underwent surgery for servere overshoot. We performed recession of lateral rectus with Y splitting in the first case, recession of both horizontal rectus with Y splitting of the lateral rectus in the second case. Results: After 1 year follow up, globe retraction was improved and significant overshoot were disappeared. Conclusion: Treatment is individualized on a case-by-case basis. Recession of lateral rectus muscle with Y-splitting is an extremely effective procedure in the treatment of significant overshoot in Duane syndrome.
