The essential features of Moebius syndrome are described. The etiology of the condition remains in doubt. The role of heredity and the possible familial incidence are noted. We present two cases of Moebius syndrome in which the facial paralysis was surgically corrected by means of dynamic muscle transfers. The use of an innervated platysma muscle flap in the first patient is believed to be the first surgical description of such a procedure.
