It is defined as a congenital paralysis of the VI and VII cranial nerves nuclei, the clinical spectrum of which is variable and associated to several bone and muscular malformations. It is few frequent and has vascular, genetic or multifactorial etiology. This work, based on more updated theoretical fundaments, pretended to describe the clinical manifestations of the Moebius syndrome and its possible etiology on the purpose of a case. It is the case of a patient, aged 11 years, who presented facial asymmetry, lips commissure deviation to the left, semi-opened mouth, constant lagrimeo and deformed right auricular pavilion (pabellon auricular).
