A Case Report of Both Duane's Syndrome and Rieger's Anomaly in a Single Patient

A young patient manifesting both Duane's syndrome and Rieger's anomaly is presented. This is believed to be the first known report of such an association. Although there is no obvious genetic correlation, the clinical implications of this finding are discussed.
