Mobius Syndrome - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia mobius syndrome (also spelled Moebius) is an extremely rare neurological mobius syndrome is caused by abnormal development of the cranial nerves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_syndrome
Extractions: Mobius syndrome (also spelled Moebius ) is an extremely rare neurological disorder. edit Mobius syndrome is caused by abnormal development of the cranial nerves . This rare disorder has a number of causes. Most often affected are the cranial nerves VI and VII . Occasionally the cranial nerves V and VIII are affected. If the cranial nerve VI is affected, the patient suffers from loss of lateral gaze. If cranial nerve VII is affected, the patient suffers from bilateral facial palsy â mask-like expressionless face with mouth constantly held open. If cranial VIII is affected the patient suffers from hearing loss. Although its rarity often leads to late diagnosis, Infants with this disorder can be identified at birth: by a "mask-like" expression detectable during crying or laughing due to paralysis (palsy) of the sixth and seventh cranial nerves. Other characteristics include:

Extractions: 104 South Estes Drive, Suite 204, Chapel Hill, NC 27514 Some doctors believe the problem arises when certain nerves in the head and neck do not develop properly; others believe that the nerves begin to develop but are damaged before birth. Still others believe that this rare disorder is related to the development of blood vessels. What problems is my child likely to have? Strabismus , or crossed eyes, is also common. syndactyly (fused fingers or toes), to missing fingers or toes. Can these lead to other problems as my child develops? Another concern as your child gets older is dental problems. Because of facial nerve paralysis and difficulty eating, food may collect around the gums and teeth. To prevent tooth decay, it is very important to keep your child's teeth and gums clean by brushing and flossing. Many children require orthodontic braces later in life.

Pathologic findings are variable and include brain stem nuclear aplasia, facial nerve aplasia, and facial muscle aplasia, consistent with a multifactorial etiology.

A study in Sweden has identified the drug Misoprostol, which causes uterine contractions and was used to induce abortion in South America, (the drug is illegal in the U.S.) as a cause of Moebius Syndrome where use of the drug failed to cause an abortion. In these cases, a vascular disruption occurred in the uterus between 23-46 days gestation. For more information go to: http://omie.med.jhmi.edu/craniofacial
GUIDE - CHAPTER 3 Our 7 yr old son, Kieran, we believe, has mobius syndrome. We have just discovered there *is* a mobius syndrome! He was born with left side facial paralysis http://www.moebius1.org/chapter_3.html
Extractions: Chapter 3 - Parent's Guide My name is Gena, my husband's name is Jeff, and we have two sons, 7 and 2. Our 7 yr old son, Kieran, we believe, has Mobius Syndrome. We have just discovered there *is* a Mobius Syndrome! He was born with left side facial paralysis, he didn't blink his left eye for months (one of my biggest worries for him!), had some troubles breastfeeding as an infant (that we were able to overcome!!!), and has always had issues with choking on certain types of foods. He has always had a love of intensely flavored food, and as a toddler would devour a bowl of curried onions! Now, we realize it is because he probably has limited taste, which also explains teething on dill pickles, a fondness for strong european cheeses, preferring course whole grain breads, etc, not exactly what one would think of as 'kid' food :)

Mobius sequence/syndrome (Congenital facial diplegia) This is the association of congenital bilateral facial weakness with ophthalmoplegia and absent trapezius or pectoral muscles. Other features: feeding difficulty, IQ low (in 50%), expressionless face syndactyly , oligodactyly, brachydactyly, club foot arthrogryposis and other limb deformities. There is no clear genetic cause, but misoprostol, ergotamine, and chorionic villus sampling have been implicated. References: M Baraitser 1977 J Med Genet TH Shepard 1995 Lancet

Patients also have palsy of the abducens nerves and may have additional cranial nerve abnormalities. Various ear abnormalities may be present, such as deformation of the auricle and malformations of the inner ear . The abnormalities may be unilateral. The syndrome is known to be associated with a variety of other developmental somatic defects.
Extractions: Moebius syndrome is a rare developmental disorder present at birth (congenital) that is characterized by facial paralysis. Affected individuals are not able to smile or frown because two important nerves, the sixth (abducens) and seventh (facialis) cranial nerves are absent or not fully developed. In some instances, this syndrome may also be associated with physical problems in other parts of the body. Resources
