		Moebius syndrome is also known as congenital facial diplegia, Möbius syndrome, Mobius syndrome, nuclear agenesis, congenital nuclear hypoplasia, congenital oculofacial paralysis, and congenital abducens-facial paralysis.
		Moebius syndrome is often confused with hypoglossia-hypodactyly syndrome, Charlie-M syndrome, and glossopalatine-ankylosis syndrome because many of the symptoms overlap.
