[The treatment of Duane syndrome by a inversion of the right lateral muscle].

The authors describe a new technique to deal with Duane's retraction syndrome. The vertical recti are rotated around their longitudinal axis with saving of the temporal ciliary arteries in order to prevent anterior segment ischemia. The results of 52 patients operated upon are discussed. The technique proved to be successful in the treatment of head posture, esotropia and limitation of abduction.
