In 1880 Von Graefe and Saemish grouped some patients with infrequent non progressive congenital disorders in facial region which was later described by Julius Moebius in 1888, as a Moebius syndrome, defined as “congenital paralysis” of the nucleus of the 6th  cranial nerves, 7th  external motor ocular nerve, facial and other cranial nerves as: 12th, 3rd hypoglossal, common motor ocular which clinical spectrum is variable; other cranial nerves are affected and it is associated with multiple malformations. Clinical and Ophthalmologic characteristics of a female patient who was diagnosed with this genetic syndrome were presented. As this is a very rare condition, many patients were condemned to be treated as mentally handicapped, where social support is indispensable for both patients and families.
