Descriptor síndrome de Mobius
Scope note: Síndrome de parálisis facial congénita, asociada con frecuencia con parálisis del abducente y con otras anomalías congénitas entre las que se incluyen parálisis lingual, pie deforme, trastornos braquiales, defectos cognitivos, y defectos de los músculos pectorales. Los hallazgos anatomopatológicos son variables e incluyen aplasia nuclear en el tronco encefálico, aplasia del nervio facial y aplasia de los músculos faciales, en línea con la etiología multifactorial.

Scope note: A syndrome of congenital facial paralysis, frequently associated with abducens palsy and other congenital abnormalities including lingual palsy, clubfeet, brachial disorders, cognitive deficits, and pectoral muscle defects. Pathologic findings are variable and include brain stem nuclear aplasia, facial nerve aplasia, and facial muscle aplasia, consistent with a multifactorial etiology.
