Sequential presentation of bilateral Brown syndrome

J AAPOS. 2012 Apr;16(2):210-2. doi: 10.1016/j.jaapos.2011.12.148.

Abstract

Brown syndrome, characterized by a limitation of elevation in adduction and positive forced duction testing, is usually unilateral but occurs bilaterally in 10% of all cases. It may present as a congenital condition in one eye and develop in the other eye with no apparent cause. We present a case of bilateral Brown syndrome in which the right eye became involved within 1 year of surgery on the left eye for congenital Brown syndrome.
