ABSTRACT
Inverse globe retraction syndrome is a rare ocular motility disorder characterized by limited abduction, with globe retraction and up- or downshoots on attempted abduction, differentiating it from globe retraction due to Duane retraction syndrome, seen on attempted adduction. It can be congenital or acquired. We report the case of a 3-year-old girl who presented with classical features of inverse globe retraction syndrome secondary to an underlying orbital tumor involving the medial rectus muscle. Incisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a leiomyoma. At 10 months' follow-up, vision, ocular alignment, and ocular motility had improved.
