Möbius Syndrome with Dental Involvement: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

The clinicopathological findings on a 17-year-old female with the Möbius/Moebius syndrome are reported. The signs and symptoms of this neuromus-cular condition include congenital bilateral or unilateral palsies of the facial and abducens cranial nerves and a broad scope of multisystem abnormalities. A case of unilateral deficiencies of cranial nerves VI and VII, congenital ectro-dactyly of toes, and multiple congenitally missing primary and permanent teeth is reported. A review of the literature reveals various ideas regarding the diversity of symptoms and the etiology of the syndrome. The purpose of this article is to report oral manifestations, such as congenitally missing teeth, associated with Möbius syndrome.
