Moebius syndrome is a congenital (present at birth) condition that causes facial
paralysis due to the underdevelopment or absence of the 6th and 7th cranial
nerves, and limited eye movement. Depending on the individual, other symptoms
may occur alongside Moebius, like hearing loss, limb differences (hand, foot,
or other limb anomalies), developmental delays, speech and feeding
difficulties, autism, dental concerns and sleep disorders. Moebius syndrome is
extremely rare - it occurs approximately 2 - 20 times per one million live
births, and there is no cure, and no known cause.
We are pleased to invite you to the
upcoming CME-accredited session on Moebius syndrome, hosted by the Moebius
Syndrome Foundation and the Department of Pediatrics Genetics at the University
of Utah. This session will be presented by Dr. Bryn Webb from
the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison
on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM (MT). It will be
held in person at Primary Children's Hospital – Eccles Outpatient
Building, Lone Peak Conference Room, or virtually. Please feel free to
share this information with other providers you think may be interested in
attending.
