Abstract
Mobius sequence features masklike facies with sixth and seventh nerve palsy and frequently micrognathia thought to result from a neuromuscul ar deficiency in early movement of the mandible. Failure to thrive in infancy is commonly due to feeding and aspiration difficulties. We pre sent the first description of prenatal sonographic findings associated with this lesion, which also support an in utero developmental etiolo gy of this rare condition.
