Extractions: There is no specific course of treatment for Mobius syndrome. Treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Infants may require feeding tubes or special bottles to maintain sufficient nutrition. Surgery may correct strabismus and improve limb and jaw deformities. Physical and speech therapy may improve motor skills and coordination, and help to better control speaking and eating abilities. Plastic reconstructive surgery may be beneficial in some individuals. Also, in a few cases, nerve and muscle transfers (microvascular muscle transplant) to the corners of the mouth have been performed to provide some ability to smile. What is the prognosis?
Mobius Syndrome Details about this disease, including what it is, the causes, symptoms and treatment options. http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/921441372.html
Extractions: Subscribe now >> Mobius syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by facial paralysis, is caused by the absence or underdevelopment of the 6th and 7th cranial nerves. These nerves control eye movements and facial expression. In newborns, the first symptom is an inability to suck. Excessive drooling and strabismus (crossed eyes) may occur. Other symptoms may include lack of facial expression; inability to smile; feeding, swallowing, and choking problems; eye sensitivity; motor delays; high or cleft palate; hearing problems; and speech difficulties. Deformities of the tongue, jaw, and limbs, such as club foot and missing or webbed fingers, may also occur. Most patients have low muscle tone, especially in the upper body. Mental retardation may also occur. As children get older, lack of facial expression and inability to smile become the dominant visible symptoms. Mobius syndrome may be accompanied by Pierre Robin syndrome, a disease in which there is an abnormally small jaw, downward displacement of the tongue, and a soft, cleft palate. It may also be accompanied by Poland's anomaly, a disease characterized by abnormal development of one side of the chest and limb deformities.

MOBIUS SYNDROME mobius syndrome is a rare congenital disturbance consisting of varying involvement of facial and lateral gaze paresis. http://members.aol.com/scottolitsky/mobius.htm
Extractions: Mobius syndrome is a rare congenital disturbance consisting of varying involvement of facial and lateral gaze paresis. Mobius first suggested that congenital bilateral abducens-facial paralysis might be an independent pathologic entity, thus gaining eponymic distinction. Clinical Manifestations Mobius syndrome is characterized by unilateral or bilateral inability to abduct the eyes. Although horizontal movements are usually lacking, vertical movements and convergence are intact. Pupillary constriction, vision, and the retina are generally normal. Congenital esotropia is common in children with Mobius syndrome. In a retrospective study of 61 patients with this syndrome, 38 per cent had early-onset esotropia. The unilateral or bilateral complete or incomplete facial palsy is usually observed during the first few weeks of life because of difficulty with sucking and feeding, and incomplete closure of the eyelids during sleep. These patients typically have masklike faces with an inability to grin and wrinkle the forehead. Mobius syndrome is frequently associated with paresis of other muscles supplies by the cranial nerves. Often, there is partial atrophy of the tongue with inability to protrude the tongue beyond the lips. Paralysis of the soft palate and muscles of mastication may also occur. Various skeletal and muscle defects are common, including absence or hypoplasia of the pectoral muscles, syndactyly, club feet, and congenital limb amputations.
