Moebius syndrome and syringomyelia An exceptional association Case report and literature review

Résumé

We report a case of Moebius syndrome associated with syringomyelia in a 6-year-old girl. The association is exceptional. The many physiopathological hypotheses of Moebius have been suggested to explain this syndrome. The hydrosyringomyelic cavity has only been reported in one case. Our case is the second reported in the literature. Several theories have been proposed on the processes involved in the development of the spinal cyst but none is completely compatible with the clinic.
