Extractions: Het Moebius syndroom is een aangeboren aandoening. Het wordt gekenmerkt door een uitdrukkingsloos gezicht. Twee van de twaalf hoofdzenuwen werken niet goed, namelijk de zenuwen die de oogbewegingen en gezichtsexpressie besturen. Vaak werken ook andere zenuwen niet helemaal goed. Er zijn nog andere symptomen die bij het Moebius Syndroom kunnen voorkomen, zoals: kaakvervormingen, afwijkingen aan de tong, slikproblemen, scheelkijken, klompvoeten en handafwijkingen. Soms gaat Moebius samen met een verstandelijke beperking of, in een enkel geval, autisme. Moebius gaat soms samen met de Pierre Robin sequentie Diagnose

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.

Extractions: Although previuosly it was thought that there was an agenesis ( failure to develop )of the control centers for the cranial nerves ( especially cranial nerve VI and VII) some of the recent research seems to call this into question. If there is complete agenesis this means that there is no possibility of the facial paralysis improving or worsening. One recent report describes muscle recruitment measured by EMG studies in two Moebius patients following treatment with simple physical therapy. In another report there is described improvement in facial paralysis using biofeedback techniques (the patients were both children). The Miami Project in FL seems to be the center that is doing the most research with biofeedback training in muscle paralysis. There is also a research center in England who claims to have gotten improvement in muscle hypotonia and facial paralysis using a type of tactile kinesthetic stimulation using "brushing technique" wirth a number of Moebius patients (mostly children). As of yet their research is unpublished. There are likewise reports of a Moebius patient's paralysis worsening and thought to be caused by a superimposed Bell's Palsy.

Extractions: A syndrome of congenital facial paralysis, frequently associated with abducens palsy and other congenital abnormalities including lingual palsy, clubfeet, brachial disorders, cognitive deficits, and pectoral muscle defects. Pathologic findings are variable and include brain stem nuclear aplasia, facial nerve aplasia, and facial muscle aplasia, consistent with a multifactorial etiology.
