Individuals with Moebius syndrome may also have abnormalities of their limbs, chest muscles, and tongue.

The underlying problem is a defect in or absence of the sixth and seventh cranial nerves.
Moebius syndrome is considered rare, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 500,000 live births. This means that only a very small percentage of the general population is affected by this condition.
Moebius syndrome is a condition in which the facial nerve is underdeveloped, causing paralysis or weakness of the muscles of the face. Other nerves to the facial structures may also be underdeveloped.
The ability to smile has been restored in some cases of Moebius syndrome by surgery which transfers nerve and muscle from the thigh to the face. Other surgeries can be used to treat eye, limb, and jaw problems
