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.

A study in Sweden has identified the drug Misoprostol, which causes uterine contractions and was used to induce abortion in South America, (the drug is illegal in the U.S.) as a cause of Moebius Syndrome where use of the drug failed to cause an abortion. In these cases, a vascular disruption occurred in the uterus between 23-46 days gestation. For more information go to: http://omie.med.jhmi.edu/craniofacial

Extractions: Mobius Syndrome What is Mobius Syndrome? Is there any treatment? 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? There is no cure for Mobius syndrome. With proper care and treatment many individuals have normal life expectancy, in spite of the severe impairments that characterize the disorder.

Related Stories Next Story Source: The Hospital For Sick Children Date: 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. This research was funded by The Hospital for Sick Children Foundation and the Brazilian Research Council.
