Abstract:   (728 Views)
Moebius syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that causes paralysis of facial muscles, especially those responsible for facial expression and eye movement. The cause of this syndrome is unknown, but genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role in this regard. The aim of present study is to report a case of Moebius syndrome in a 14-yers-old boy in order to better understand the syndrome and familiarize nurses, especially pediatric nurses, with this rare syndrome. This would help pediatric nurses to provide better care, education and support to affected patients. The patient studied in this report was a 14-year-old boy, who was the result of an unrelated marriage and a natural term delivery without complications. At birth, he had a masked face and was unable to suckle at his mother's breast. He also had sialorrhea and a limited abduction and adduction of the eyes, which led to strabismus. The definitive diagnosis was made at 4 months of age. Since there is no definitive treatment for Moebius syndrome, recognition of this rare syndrome, timely diagnosis and provision of supportive and symptomatic treatment can prevent the development of severe complications in such cases.
