Moebius syndrome is a rare disease characterized by congenital facial paralysis and abducens palsy. 1. Around 1% of exposed fetuses develop fetal abnormalities associated with the use of misoprostol. The incidence of Moebius syndrome is around 2-20 cases per million births. [] In a nationwide Dutch survey reported in 2003, the prevalence of Möbius syndrome was at least 0.002% of births (4 cases per 189,000 newborns) for the years 1996 . Some research suggests that human fetuses exposed only to mifepristone continue to develop normally. The prevalence in the United States is reported as 0.002-0.0002% of births, or 1 case per 50,000 newborns.

These reports all concern illegal use of the medication for abortion (except 1 report of its use for pep-tic ulcer disease, a primary use of misoprostol, alone or in combination with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs). Misoprostol is the drug that has been most associated with the problem, as indicated by a group of researchers from the Universidad del Norte, in Barranquilla, Colombia. A trend toward a doubling of the overall rate of malformations was observed and for the first time an estimation of the incidence of misoprostol specific spectrum is proposed (2%). Since the mid-1990s, dozens of cases of Möbius syndrome have been linked to misoprostol, a drug commonly used by women in Brazil to induce abortion. Introduction Möbius syndrome (MS; VI and VII palsy) is a rare disease that in Brazil has a great frequency because of the use of misoprostol during pregnancy. Exposure of the foetus to misoprostol or mifeprostone increases the risk of developing Moebius syndrome and/or an amniotic band syndrome and/or central nervous system anomalies (see section 4.6). Möbius syndrome is a congenital paralysis of the seventh cranial nerve that may be associated with involvement of other cranial nerves or other systems. In utero misoprostol exposure has been associated with Möbius sequence and terminal transverse limb defects following failed medical termination of pregnancy.1 Möbius sequence affects 1 in 50 000 live births; there is congenital facial or abducens nerve palsy and a variable association with central hypoventilation and transverse limb defects.2 3 Pathogenesis is presumed vascular disruption . 3, 4 It is characterized by nonprogressive facial and ocular abduction paralysis, caused by impairment to the facial (cranial VII) and abducens (cranial VI) nerves, respectively.

Misoprostol (Cytotec), a prostaglandin analog used to treat gastric ulcers, is commonly exploited for its abortifacient properties. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) analogue used for the treatment and prevention of stomach ulcers. Misoprostol exposure in early pregnancy is associated with a significantly increased risk of spontaneous abortion. There is a history suggesting intake of misoprostol by the mother in our case, though undocumented. To date, mifepristone alone does not appear to have induced Möbius syndrome. 32 These abnormalities include Moebius syndrome, limb defects, club foot, central nervous system anomalies and anomalies involving the palate.
