Möbius syndrome
Möbius syndrome is a rare neurological condition characterized by facial paralysis and the inability to move the eyes laterally. It results from the underdevelopment of certain cranial nerves, particularly the sixth and seventh nerves, which control eye movement and facial expressions. This condition can affect individuals in varying degrees, leading to challenges in communication and social interaction.
In addition to facial and eye movement issues, people with Möbius syndrome may experience other complications, such as limb abnormalities or difficulties with feeding and speech. Early diagnosis and supportive therapies can help improve quality of life for those affected by this condition.
