Duane's syndrome with compressive denervation of the lateral rectus muscle.
OBJECTIVE
To describe an unusual case of Duane's syndrome.


METHODS
Individual case report.


RESULTS
A skull base meningioma was discovered in a woman with Duane's syndrome who presented with recurrent, large-angle esotropia and uncharacteristic atrophy of the lateral rectus muscle on magnetic resonance image (MRI) scan.


CONCLUSIONS
Neuroimaging may be useful in unusual cases of Duane's syndrome.
