Up- and downshoot in Duane's retraction syndrome.
Up- and downshoot of the adducted eye in patients with Duane's retraction syndrome was surgically eliminated in five patients by posterior fixation of the horizontal rectus muscles. Retroequatorial fixation of these muscles reduces sideslip and thus a vertical effect of the co-contracting horizontal rectus muscles.
