A case of a five-year-old boy with Moebius syndrome, mild-moderate mental retardation and childhood psychosis (possibly infantile autism) is described. This is probably the first case ever of concomitant Moebius syndrome and childhood psychosis to be reported. Brainstem dysfunction is proposed as a common denominator in the neurologic and psychiatric syndrome.
