Abstract

A 20-year-old woman with a 4-year history of rheumatoid arthritis developed features of Duane's retraction syndrome (DRS). Diplopia on lateral gaze apparently preceded the retraction syndrome by several weeks. It is postulated that DRS can follow a peripheral sixth nerve palsy. Coexistent third nerve abnormality may play a role in the development of the syndrome.
