The case of a 3-year-old female is reported whose condition was diagnosed as congenital, complete paralysis of the right facial nerve in 1962; and a short time later more specifically described as Moebius syndrome. In 1971, a circumoral fascial sling was inserted in preparation for a masseter muscle transfer. Voluntary movement on the right side of her mouth was noted following surgery and continued to improve, making facial actions more symmetrical. This function has remained stable during a five year follow-up. Although the mechanism of action is not fully understood, it is postulated that the presence of the sling may have presented the subclinically active muscles a force to work against or perhaps the surgery may have liberated those muscles from adjacent fibrous tissue.
报告了一名3岁女性的病例，其病情于1962年被诊断为先天性右侧面神经完全麻痹；不久后更具体地描述为莫比乌斯综合征。1971年，插入了一个口周筋膜吊带，为咬肌转移做准备。术后观察到她右侧口腔有自主运动，且持续改善，使面部动作更加对称。在五年的随访期间，这种功能一直保持稳定。虽然作用机制尚未完全了解，但据推测，吊带的存在可能为亚临床活跃的肌肉提供了一个对抗的力，或者手术可能使这些肌肉从相邻的纤维组织中解放出来。
