Sažetak
Moebius syndrome is a rare disease characterized by unilateral or bilateral congenital nonprogressive facial nerve palsy and abducens
nerve palsy. It is associated with a wide spectrum of systemic and ocular manifestations; congenital esotropia (convergent
strabismus) is common in these patients but vertical strabismus is rare. Only few articles have described results of strabismus surgery
for esotropia in children, but only one reports strabismus surgery for vertical and horizontal deviation. We report a rare case of a
three-year-old male child with large esotropia and limited ocular abductions along with a signifi cant vertical deviation, which is not
common in classic Moebius syndrome. We used conservative approach prescribing glasses with full correction, which resolved convergent
strabismus, and surgery for treating vertical strabismus by superior rectus retroposition.
