More about Moebius Syndrome:
Moebius Syndrome is an extremely rare neurological disorder which is present at birth. The exact incidence is unknown. It is characterised by weakening or paralysis of the muscles in the face which control expression and lateral eye movements. People born with Moebius syndrome are unable to smile or frown, blink their eyes, or suck, although sometimes only one side is affected. Other physical problems are sometimes present in people with Moebius syndrome, such as clubfoot; mouth, tongue and jaw deformities; and respiratory illnesses. Although Moebius syndrome is sometimes associated with intellectual disabilities such as autism, and development delays, it mainly affects children of normal intelligence and cognitive development. The disorder is named after the German physician Paul Julius Möbius who described the condition in 1888. More recently it has been referred to as Moebius sequence, a more accurate description of this kind of disorder, where a single embryological event leads to a chain of developmental defects.
