| description | In this case report, we present the case of a 25-year-old male with
familial Moebius syndrome having facial nerve paralysis; his mother
had both facial nerve paralysis and sixth cranial nerve paralysis.
He was admitted to our outpatient clinic with complaints of an unclosed
left eye and a sagging left corner of the mouth. During preoperative
procedures for the operation for the correction of facial
paralysis, we noticed that his mother also had peripheral facial nerve
and ipsilateral sixth cranial nerve paralysis simultaneously. Either patient
underwent examinations and research considering the familial
Moebius syndrome and its clinical findings. The male patient was
operated with a modified temporal muscle transposition technique
for lagophthalmos and tendon graft hanging and cross facial nerve
graft (CFNG) with the sural nerve for the sagging mouth corner. |
