Abstract :
Moebius Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder of the facial and abducens nerve.
Other cranial nerves may be involved, such as V, IX and XII. Several central nervous system
anomalies including hypoplastic or dysplastic brain stem, straightening of the fourth ventricle
floor, focal necrosis and calcifications of cranial nerve nuclei have been reported in
association with Moebius syndrome, but we report a 18 months old boy of moebius syndrome
with corpus callosum agenesis that has not been reported yet.
