Duane's Syndrome (#2) Left Gaze

Duane's Syndrome (#2) Left Gaze
Note the upshoot of the adducting right eye as well as the lid fissure narrowing, a consequence of the lateral rectus being innervated by both cranial nerves three (oculomotor) and six (abducens), both medial and lateral recti to contract at the same time, causing globe retraction.
