    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This case study presents frontal bossing in a woman with Möbius syndrome, caused by excess fibroadipose tissue. Surgical resection successfully corrected the condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Neurology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Möbius syndrome is a rare congenital neurological disorder characterized by facial nerve paralysis.
    • Frontal bossing, an outward protrusion of the forehead, can occur in various conditions, including genetic disorders.
    • Excess subcutaneous fibroadipose tissue is an uncommon cause of frontal bossing.

    Observation:

    • A 38-year-old woman with a confirmed diagnosis of Möbius syndrome presented with significant frontal bossing.
    • The frontal bossing was attributed to an unusual accumulation of subcutaneous fibroadipose tissue.
    • Standard diagnostic imaging confirmed the soft tissue etiology without underlying bony abnormalities.

    Findings:

    • A minimally invasive transcoronal resection of the excess fibroadipose tissue was performed.

  • The surgical intervention effectively eliminated the frontal bossing.
  • Post-operative recovery was uneventful with satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights an unusual presentation of frontal bossing in Möbius syndrome.
    • It demonstrates the efficacy of surgical soft tissue resection for this specific cosmetic deformity.
    • The findings suggest that fibroadipose tissue should be considered in the differential diagnosis of frontal bossing, even in rare genetic conditions.
