Abstract
We report magnetic resonance (MR) findings in a patient with congenital unilateral facial palsy and a patient with atypical Moebius syndrome. MR imaging showed a complete deficiency of right facial nerve in the patient with congenital unilateral facial palsy and bilateral, thin proximal facial nerves in the Moebius syndrome patient. Three-dimensional constructive interference in steady state (3D-CISS) MR imaging, especially reconstructions perpendicular to the bilateral internal auditory channel, was very useful when diagnosing patients with facial palsy due to the associated facial nerve abnormalities.
