Definition/Description
[edit | edit source]
Moebius, or Möbius, syndrome is defined as congenital facial palsy combined with abnormal ocular abduction. It is a rare congenital condition that was first described by German neurologist Paul Julius Möbius in 1888[1].
Moebius syndrome is due to the loss of function of motor cranial nerves. Most cases are diagnosed during infancy. The disease is not progressive.
