| dc.description.abstract | 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. | |
