Child. Diagnosed Duanes Syndrome. Behaviour Problems With Hitting, Kicking, Destructive Behaviour. Associated With DS?

My 5 year old granddaughter was diagnosed Duanes Syndrome as an infant. She has recently begun Kindergarten, after having two years of a Special Education Pre-school experience. In all the situations as well as at home she has had behavior problems which continue to escalate to the point of excluding her from the classroom and other children - hitting, kicking, defiance, destructive behavior, name calling, etc. Are there behavior issues that are associated with DS?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
greetings.

generally duane syndrome doesnt present with other features.
While usually isolated to the eye abnormalities, Duane syndrome can be associated with other problems including cervical spine abnormalities Klippel-Feil syndrome, Goldenhar syndrome, heterochromia, and congenital deafness.
but again for any diagnosis to be made one has to under go the detailed examination by the doctor.
