Background:
Our aim in this article is to contribute to the clinical findings of Moebius syndrome with the association of synostosis published for the first time.
Case Presentation:
In 2023, the Pediatric Neurosurgery Department operated sagittal synostosis case with Moebius syndrome was retrieved from the neurosurgery archive with literatüre review. A 6-month-old girl who could not close her eyes and mouth after birth was followed up in another hospital with the diagnosis of Moebius Syndrome and was referred to us because of cranial deformity.
Conclusion:
Moebius syndrome is a syndrome whose cause and clinical framework still need to be fully clarified and is being updated with studies. For this reason, it is essential to recognize the clinical findings seen in patients well, to direct them to genetic research if necessary, and to pay attention to new manifestations that may be added in this context in terms of scientific transfer.

01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
