Abducens nerve or 6^th Nerve it is having the longest intracranial course of all the cranial nerves. Any damage to the abducens nerve along its long course may result in a palsy. Congenital 6^th nerve palsy is very rare as against DRS. No study data available on its epidemiology due to its rarity. Congenital 6^th nerve palsy is taken as DRS unless proved otherwise. 2 years old female child came to Laxmi Eye Institute with a complain of abnormal turning of both eyes towards nasal side since Childhood. All the clinical examination was performed to get the right diagnosis and to give best treatment and management to patient. As congenital sixth nerve palsy may be confused with Duane’s Retraction Syndrome and Congenital Esotropia. So, A careful clinical evaluation is essential to differentiate between these.
