Abstract

Moebius syndrome is a low-prevalence congenital disease characterized by facial paralysis due to involvement of cranial nerves VIand VII. This integrative review of theliteratureaimsto identifythe main orofacial, neurological and functional characteristics of Moebius syndrome, speech difficulties and the benefits that post-surgical speech therapy intervention may have on patients. Eleven studies were included. In 90% of them, various orofacial affections were observed that affect the articulation, feeding and facial expressiveness. Likewise, speech is altered, being in almost half of the cases unintelligible. Two of the works describe benefits with speech therapy. It is concluded that Moebius syndrome is characterized by orofacial alterations that affect swallowing, expression and speech. Post-surgical speech therapy intervention provides important benefits to patients, improving their quality of life.
