Poland-Mobius syndrome in an infant girl

ABSTRACT

Mobius syndrome is a rare condition of unclear origin, characterized by a unilateral or bilateral congenital facial weakness with impairment of ocular abduction, which is frequently associated with limb anomalies. Poland described a condition in which there was unilateral absence of pectoralis major muscle and ipsilateral syndactyly. The combination of Poland-Mobius syndrome is rare, with an estimated prevalence 1500000. We describe a case of Poland-Mobius syndrome in association with congenital bilateral vocal fold immobility. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such an association between Poland-Mobius syndrome and congenital bilateral vocal fold immobility
