## TL;DR

This paper presents a case study of a child with Moebius syndrome, highlighting the clinical and radiological features of the condition.

## Contribution

The study provides a detailed description of a rare case of Moebius syndrome in a pediatric patient.

## Key findings

- The patient exhibited left-side facial palsy and bilateral complete horizontal gaze palsy.
- Radiological features were consistent with the clinical diagnosis of Moebius syndrome.

## Abstract

Moebius syndrome is a rare disease characterized by unilateral or bilateral facial nerve palsies with/without other cranial nerve palsy. It manifests clinically with facial muscle weakness and/or ophthalmoplegia and can be associated with other physical anomalies such as various limb deformities and orofacial malformation. Herein, we have described the clinical and radiological features of Moebius syndrome in a 9-year-old female child who presented with left-side facial palsy and bilateral complete horizontal gaze palsy.
