Duane retraction syndrome with congenital deafness

What it is

A rare neurologic disease characterized by the presence of Duane retraction syndrome (i. e. a congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder with unilateral or bilateral limitation of abduction and/or adduction of the eye, as well as globe retraction and palpebral fissure narrowing on attempted adduction) in combination with congenital unilateral or bilateral hearing loss. The sidedness of hearing loss corresponds to the sidedness of the retraction syndrome.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
