ABSTRACT

Moebius syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized primarily by facial paralysis and the inability to move the eyes laterally. This condition results from underdevelopment of the cranial nerves, particularly the sixth (abducens) and seventh (facial) nerves. Individuals with Moebius syndrome may present with additional features such as limb abnormalities, difficulties with speech and feeding, and sometimes cognitive impairments. The exact cause remains unclear, but it is believed to involve genetic and environmental factors during early development. Diagnosis is typically based on clinical observation and imaging studies, while management focuses on supportive therapies, including physical therapy, speech therapy, and surgical interventions to improve function and appearance.
