Summary
The MRI findings in three patients with Mobius syndrome are reported from the Hospital Vail d'Hebron, Barcelona, Spain. The GLH syndrome is rare, only 8 cases reported. Corneal opacities may develop over time because of trigeminal anesthesia and corneal insensitivity. Head banging and head rocking, and other self-injurious behavior may occur as a result of pain insensitivity. MRI is preferable to CT in demonstration of the cerebellar anomaly.
