Background: Moebius syndrome is a disorder characterized by facial and abducens nerve paralysis. Patients can present a wide range of upper extremity malformations. Literature focused on orthopedic manifestations of Moebius syndrome shows variability in the prevalence and clinical presentation of upper extremity anomalies. The aim of this work is to evaluate the prevalence of upper extremity malformations in patients with Moebius syndrome, clarify its various clinical presentations, and present treatment strategies for their management. Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study including patients with Moebius syndrome and upper extremity malformations between 2012 and 2019. Data include demographic characteristics, Moebius syndrome subtype, type of malformation, affected extremity, and surgical procedures underwent. Quantitative data were recorded as mean (standard deviation [SD]), and qualitative data were expressed in terms of totals and percentages. Statistical association between Moebius syndrome subtype and development of upper extremity anomalies was evaluated using binary logistic regression. Results: Twenty-five out of 153 patients (16.3%) presented upper extremity malformations (48% male). Mean age of presentation was 9.08 ± 9.43 years. Sixty-eight percent of the malformations were unilateral. The most common presentations included Poland syndrome and simple syndactyly with 8 cases each (32%), followed by 5 cases of brachysyndactyly (20%), 3 cases of amniotic band syndrome (12%), and 1 case of cleft hand (4%). No statistical association was found between Moebius syndrome subtype and odds ratio for development of upper extremity anomalies. Thirteen patients (52%) underwent reconstructive procedures. Conclusion: Poland syndrome and syndactyly are the most common anomalies in patients with Moebius syndrome. Patients may present with a wide range of hand malformations, each patient should be carefully evaluated in order to determine whether surgical treatment is needed and to optimize rehabilitation protocols.

Background: Poland syndrome also referred to as Poland Anomaly or sequence is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by absence or under development of the pectoralis major and sometimes minor muscle with or without limb asymmetry and a combination of other physical anomalies. The global incidence is estimated to be 1:10,000 to 1:100,000 but is thought to be underestimated due to the different degrees of the physical anomalies and a general lack of awareness about the condition. No cases have been reported from Ghana to the best of our knowledge. History: A sixteen year old girl presented with gross asymmetry of the breasts. Further examination revealed asymmetry of the upper limbs with shortened digits on the left. Anomaly only became noticeable during puberty. Conclusion: Though defects in Poland syndrome are present at birth, some individuals with Poland syndrome only present during puberty. Poland syndrome can be left-sided and also occur in females though majority of reported cases tend to be right-sided involving males.
