"Moebius syndrome is a rare birth defect caused by the absence or underdevelopment of the 6th and 7th cranial nerves, which control eye movements and facial expression." (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke)
With proper treatment, it will not be life threatening as most people live full lives with the condition. Since the condition is congenital, however, there may be breathing or choking problems as a baby, and constant care is necessary.
