Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pediatrics
  • Sleep Medicine

Background:

  • Möbius syndrome is a congenital neurological disorder.
  • It is characterized by facial paralysis and lateral gaze palsy.
  • Associated symptoms can include laryngeal paralysis and aspiration.

Observation:

  • Sleep-disordered breathing has not been previously reported in Möbius syndrome.
  • Two children with Möbius syndrome and sleep-disordered breathing are presented.
  • This suggests a potential link between the syndrome and breathing abnormalities.

Findings:

  • Sleep-disordered breathing may be a common complication of Möbius syndrome.
  • Early identification and management are crucial.
  • Untreated complications can lead to significant morbidity.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider screening for sleep-disordered breathing in patients with Möbius syndrome.
  • Further research is needed to understand the prevalence and pathophysiology.
  • This may improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
