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 As of yet their research is unpublished.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.

Moebius Syndrome And Possible Causes Ziter et al. (1977) observed congenital facial diplegia and flexionfinger contractures in 7 members of 3 generations of a family. http://neuro-www.mgh.harvard.edu/forum/MoebiusSyndromeF/3.21.982.19AMMoebiussynd
Extractions: Harbord et al. (1989) described a child with Moebius syndrome associated with unilateral cerebellar hypoplasia. Journel et al. (1989) described Moebius syndrome in 2 brothers and a male first cousin who were sons of sisters, thus suggesting X-linked recessive inheritance. The 2 brothers also had hypoplasia of the thumbs and absence of the big toes. Kawai et al. (1990) described the fourth case of Moebius syndrome (which they referred to as Moebius sequence) associated with peripheral neuropathy and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Pulsatile administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone for 3 months was effective therapy. Kumar (1990) provided a review, which was critiqued by Lipson et al. (1990). MacDermot et al. (1991) urged that the term Moebius syndrome be restricted to cases with congenital sixth and seventh nerve paralysis with skeletal defects; according to their analysis, the recurrence risk is low (about 2%) in these cases. In their review, no recurrence was noted in 31 cases with cranial nerve palsies associated with oral abnormalities and limb defects. The features in an index case that may indicate a higher risk of recurrence are the absence of skeletal defects, isolated facial palsy, deafness, ophthalmoplegia, and digital contractures. As an example of the latter category, MacDermot et al. (1991) described mother and son with fifth, sixth, seventh, and bulbar cranial nerve paralysis who had 2 similarly affected relatives: the mother's maternal aunt and her son.

Extractions: Moebius syndrome, also known as congenital facial diplegia, comprises an heterogeeneous group of conditions, caused by vascular disruption. Its origin is probably environmental in the vast majority of the cases. There are some works on families with a mendelian pattern of inheritance. Some factors have been implicated in the genesis of the disorder: drugs acting as inductors of uterine contratility, maternal hypotension, maternal trauma and hyperthermia. In the present work we analyze 105 patients with Moebius syndrome seen in the ambulatorys of pediatrics and genetics at the Sarah Network of Hospitals. We studied the association between Moebius and vaginal bleeding. We also analyzed the following parameters: maternal hyperthermia and trauma in the first trimester and polyhydramnius.

Extractions: Incomitant strabismus occurs when the misalignment or the angle of deviation of the eyes varies with gaze direction. This results from mechanical dysfunction in the orbit or neuromuscular dysfunction at the level of the muscle, nerve, or brainstem. Restricted neuromuscular disorders in this group include Duane syndrome, CFEOM, strabismus fixus, Möbius syndrome, and isolated cranial nerve palsies. Of these, the neuropathology of Duane and CFEOM have been described and have interesting parallels to one another. In addition, CFEOM, strabismus fixus, and some rare forms of Duane syndrome show clear patterns of inheritance, making them accessible to molecular genetic studies. CFEOM has been a major focus of our laboratory investigations. Individuals with CFEOM have ptosis, infraductive strabismus, and severely restricted eye movements. The ophthalmoplegia is virtually complete with the eyes fixed at 20 to 40 degrees below the horizontal. Residual eye movements are typically in the horizontal plane and are often notable for aberrant and jerky convergent or divergent movements on attempted vertical gaze as well as retraction of the globe into the orbit. Affected individuals lack binocular vision, and frequently have significant refractive errors and amblyopia. We have noted hypotonia and mild gross motor delay in young affected children, and mild facial weakness in all affected individuals.

Extractions: Snippets A 69 year old patient presented for arthroscopic knee surgery. Her husband, a doctor with severe Parkinson's disease, had been mistakenly resuscitated against his wishes and died three weeks later in the intensive care unit. After this event the patient had written a living will to ensure that no such confusion would occur in her case. A living will should be sufficient in making clear a patient's wishes, but in order to further clarify her instructions, she had also had the words "Do Not Resuscitate" tattooed on her left chest wall. The arthroscopy was completed without adverse event under regional anaesthesia.
