There is no specific course of treatment for Mobius syndrome. Treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Infants may require feeding tubes or special bottles to maintain sufficient nutrition. Surgery may correct strabismus and improve limb and jaw deformities. Physical and speech therapy may improve motor skills and coordination, and help to better control speaking and eating abilities. Plastic reconstructive surgery may be beneficial in some individuals. Also, in a few cases, nerve and muscle transfers (microvascular muscle transplant) to the corners of the mouth have been performed to provide some ability to smile. What is the prognosis?

It is characterized by congenital palsy of the external rectus and facial muscles, usually bilateral, associated with paralysis of the sixth and seventh nerves. The patient has a masklike expression and is unable to abduct the eyes beyond midpoint. Involvement of the jaw may cause feeding problems. Other central nervous system dysfunctions may cause abnormalities in the hands, hips, and feet. The clinical features are not constant. Mental retardation occurs in approximately ten percent of cases. The condition has been observed in siblings and is thought to be genetic. The disorder may have a number of different causes, one author ascribes it to aplasia of the nuclei of the abducens and facial nerves. According to one author it was first described by von Graefe in 1880. However, ince Albrecht von Graefe died in 1870, this probably refers to the textbook by Alfred Graefe and Edwin Theodor Saemisch. It was described by Möbius in 1888 and again in 1892 when he reported 44 cases and applied the term «nuclear atrophy.»

Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Mobius Syndrome? Mobius syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by facial paralysis, is caused by the absence or underdevelopment of the 6th and 7th cranial nerves. These nerves control eye movements and facial expression. In newborns, the first symptom is an inability to suck. Excessive drooling and strabismus (crossed eyes) may occur. Other symptoms may include lack of facial expression; inability to smile; feeding, swallowing, and choking problems; eye sensitivity; motor delays; high or cleft palate; hearing problems; and speech difficulties. Deformities of the tongue, jaw, and limbs, such as club foot and missing or webbed fingers, may also occur. Most patients have low muscle tone, especially in the upper body. Mental retardation may also occur. As children get older, lack of facial expression and inability to smile become the dominant visible symptoms.

15. EMedicine - Möbius Syndrome : Article Excerpt By: Cheryl Ann Palmer, MD Although von Graefe described a case of congenital facial diplegia in 1880, thesyndrome was reviewed and defined further by Möbius in 1888 and 1892. http://www.emedicine.com/neuro/byname/möbius-syndrome.htm

(advertisement) Excerpt from Möbius Syndrome Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: congenital facial diplegia, congenital nuclear agenesis, congenital nuclear hypoplasia, congenital oculofacial paralysis Please click here to view the full topic text: Möbius Syndrome Background: Möbius syndrome is due, in part, to loss of function of motor cranial nerves. Although von Graefe described a case of congenital facial diplegia in 1880, the syndrome was reviewed and defined further by Möbius in 1888 and 1892. Because of these contributions, Möbius is now the eponym used to describe the syndrome. The definition and diagnostic criteria for Möbius syndrome vary among authors. Both von Graefe and Möbius accepted only cases with both congenital facial diplegia and bilateral abducens nerve palsies as constituting Möbius syndrome. In 1939, Henderson broadened the definition and included cases with congenital unilateral facial palsy. Other authors are more restrictive in attempts to eliminate conditions of a different pathogenesis being labeled as Möbius syndrome. These investigators require the presence of a congenital musculoskeletal anomaly in order to make the diagnosis. Pathophysiology: The complete pathophysiological description of Möbius syndrome remains elusive. Whether nerve, brainstem, or muscle aplasia is the primary event has not been established. Nerves that may be involved include cranial nerves (CN) VI through XII, with general sparing of CN VIII. CN III and CN IV can be involved, but rarely are. The facial nerves (CN VII) are involved in all cases, the abducens nerves (CN VI) in a high percentage of cases (75%), and the hypoglossal nerves (CN XII) in only a minority of cases.
