The Moebius sequence--report of a case and a short annotation.

Abstract

A Malay baby with multiple cranial nerve involvement consistent with the Moebius sequence (syndrome) is reported. He also had many non-Central Nervous System (CNS) related defects which include limb reduction defects and the Poland sequence. A short annotation and the spectrum of this disorder are presented. In view of many reported related disorders, Moebius sequence may occur as a part of a broader pattern of malformation.
