Moebius syndrome associated with hypoplastic left heart syndrome

The authors present a newborn infant from the second pregnancy whose mother experienced influenza A infection in the first trimester. The birth was at term without complications, but 11 hours later, cyanosis and tachypnoe developed. The final diagnosis was hypoplastic left heart syndrome with simultaneous Moebius Syndrome. In conclusion the authors indicate that echocardiography is of great importance in the diagnosis of this complex heart disease as it helps to analyze in detail the options in the diagnosis of rare Moebius Syndrome (Fig. 2, Ref. 8).
