Extractions: n. A developmental bilateral facial paralysis usually associated with oculomotor or other neurological disorders. Wikipedia Mobius syndrome Mobius syndrome (also spelled Moebius ) is an extremely rare neurological disorder. 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. 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: Later on, the child may develop speech difficulties, crossed eyes, abnormally small eyes, and fluid building up in the

Pathological alterations observed in cranial nuclei are most often viewed as aplastic or dysplastic lesions. Two patients with Mobius syndrome with associated facial and skeletal malformations showed mineralized necrotic foci in multiple brain stem nuclei. Prenatal

Each affected member showed an identical chromosome abnormality, reciprocal translocation between chromosome 1 and 13. The concurrence of the clinical and cytogenetic defect in this family suggests a direct and possibly etiologic relationship.

Extractions: Table of Contents - This Web Page Duane's Syndrome Brown's Syndrome Mobius Syndrome Sixth Nerve Palsy Duane's Syndrome eye muscle surgery Brown's Syndrome Brown’s syndrome is a condition present from birth or acquired later in life in which the eye is unable to move up, especially when it is turned in toward the nose. This is caused by the inability of the superior oblique muscle, one of the eye muscles, to slide through its natural pulley system along the bony wall of the eye. This condition is often first noted in a child when the parent notes that the uninvolved eye is "floating" up when the child looks to the side, when actually it is the other eye which is not moving up normally. eye muscle surgery can correct the problem. Mobius Syndrome Mobius syndrome is characterized by multiple disturbances of the muscles of the eyes and face. Most notable is the inability of one or both eyes to move outwards. This is often accompanied by eye crossing at birth which often needs to be corrected with eye muscle surgery . The involvement of the nerves that supply the muscles of the face is noted by early difficulty with sucking and feeding, as well as deficient closing of the eyes during sleep. The face can appear like a mask in that the ability to smile or wrinkle the forehead is absent.

Extractions: Mobius Syndrome Mobius is an extremely rare condition in which the 6 th and 7 th cranial nerves are not fully developed resulting in eye muscle and facial paralysis. The ensuing lack of facial expression and inability to smile are the most graphic symptoms. Blinking, lateral eye movements and facial expressions are either non-functioning or severely limited. When a newborn exhibits impaired ability to suck there is a possibility that Mobius may be responsible. Combined with excessive drooling and crossed eyes, deformities of tongue and jaw, club foot or missing or webbed fingers, a Mobius diagnosis is likely. The mouth and eyes may remain open during sleep with eyes becoming ulcerated due to lack of tears in the absence of blinking. Acquiring gross motor skills is often delayed with the child catching up to peers after a while. Speech therapy is required to maximize communication given the impaired mobility of the tongue and lips as well as to gain better control of eating. Surgery may be needed to correct crossed eyes; nerve and muscles may be transferred to provide ability to smile; physical therapy helps improve gross motor skills and coordination. The exact cause of Mobius syndrome is unknown though there are numerous possible causes.

Extractions: Ulcer Drug Linked To Birth Defects TORONTO, Ontario, CanadaResearchers at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children (HSC) and several hospitals in Brazil have determined that a drug commonly used for the treatment and prevention of ulcers causes a significant birth defect if taken during pregnancy. The drug, misoprostol, joins an international list of approximately 24 medications proven to cause birth defects. The research is reported in the June 25 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. "Our research determined that misoprostol causes a congenital facial paralysis known as Mobius syndrome," explains lead researcher Anne Pastuszak, MSc, of HSC's Motherisk program and director of the University of Toronto Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment Centre. "The drug is not recommended for use in pregnancy because it may stimulate uterine contractions and cause vaginal bleeding and miscarriage." It is these side effects that prompt some Brazilian women to take misoprostolwhich is available over the counter in Brazil but only by prescription in Canadain an attempt to terminate their pregnancy. However, the drug does not always cause miscarriage and children born to mothers who have taken misoprostol are more likely to have Mobius syndrome than women who have not taken the drug. The case control study compared the frequency of misoprostol use during the first trimester between mothers of 96 Brazilian infants diagnosed with Mobius syndrome and mothers of 96 infants with neural tube defects. Among the mothers of infants with Mobius syndrome, 47 (49 per cent) had taken misoprostol during pregnancy compared with just three (three percent) of the mothers from the other group.
