M bius syndrome

Abstract
Neuropathologic findings in an infant with congenital right facial and bilateral lateral recturs palsy (Möbius syndrome) are presented. Multiple microscopic foci of necrosis were found in the lower pontine tegmentum, involving the region of the intramedullary course of 6th and 7th cranial nerves. The significance of pathologic findings in this infant and 14 additional published cases of Möbius syndrome is discussed.
