Mobius Syndrome is characterized by showing unilateral facial nerve palsy of the sixth and seventh nerves, lack of facial expression, inability to smile and to tightly close the right eyelids. In this report, a 7-year-old-boy with Mobius syndrome is presented. He had asymmetry of facial expression, anomalies of fingers and severe tooth decay. After dental treatment, the periodic re-care visits should be done according to the eruption pattern.

Introduction: Moebius syndrome is a rare congenital disorder with frequent anecdotal reports of sleep disturbances not sufficiently categorized by prior literature. The present mixed-methods, two-phase study aimed to characterize the sleep health and symptoms of a cohort of adults and children (via parent proxies) with Moebius syndrome.
Methods: In Phase 1, participants were 46 adults with Moebius Syndrome (M=33.

Article Synopsis
- Moebius syndrome (MoS) is a rare condition that affects facial movement and causes problems with closing the eyelids, making it hard for people to fully blink.
- A study was done with 15 people at a conference to learn about their experiences living with this condition, and they discussed how it affects their daily lives and how society sees them.
- The researchers noted that many participants felt a mix of challenges, like social stigma, and had different opinions on surgery, but many also showed a strong sense of self-acceptance about their situation.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how having Moebius syndrome, which results in reduced facial expressions, affects job applicant ratings, often leading to stigmatization.
- - Two experiments revealed that participants rated an applicant with Moebius syndrome significantly lower when watching job interview videos without prior information about the condition.
- - When participants were educated about Moebius syndrome or when still images with audio were used, the ratings of the applicant were similar to those without the syndrome, suggesting that informing people can reduce bias in hiring decisions.

Moebius syndrome (MBS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by non-progressive facial palsy and ocular abduction paralysis. Most cases are sporadic, but also rare familial cases with autosomal dominant transmission and incomplete penetrance/variable expressivity have been described. The genetic etiology of MBS is still unclear: de novo pathogenic variants in and are reported in only a minority of cases, suggesting the involvement of additional causative genes.
