A case with Möbius' facial diplegia is described; the syndrome is characterized by bilateral congenital paralysis of the mimic muscles often associated with paralysis of the abductors of both eyes, convergent strabismus, palsy of sublingual and trigeminal nerve motor branch. This first observation of the syndrome in Russia is uncommon due to a congenital lower lid entropion which is considered untypical of this rare condition. Still, the authors do not rule out a pathogenetic relationship between entropion and other manifestations of the syndrome.
