Abstract
Moebius syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by the association of facial paralysis and involvement of the oculomotor muscles, secondary to the agenesis of cranial nerves VII and VI. Other cranial nerves can be implicated and/or it can be associated with other malformations as a consequence of a disruption of brainstem morphogenesis, presumably of vascular nature, during the embryonic period. We present a case of Moebius syndrome diagnosed during the neonatal period, reviewing the clinical features and its course.
