MRI Findings in Mobius Syndrome: Correlation with Clinical Features
Neurol 55:1058-1060, Pedraza,S.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The authors studied the MRI findings of three patients with Mobius syndrome. Mobius syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by complete or partial facial diplegia accompanied by other cranial nerve palsies. MRI demonstrated br ainstem hypoplasia with straightening of the fourth ventricle floor, indicating an absence of the facial colliculus. These MRI features suggest the diagnosis of Mobius syndrome and correlate with the clinical and neurophysiologic findings.
