Congenital Cranial Dysinnervation Disorders

Congenital neurodevelopmental diseases characterized by abnormal eye, eyelid, and facial movements. Congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDDs) are caused by abnormal innervation of CRANIAL NERVES (e.g., CNs III, IV and VI) resulting in aplasia or hypoplasia of the ocular and facial musculature involved in EYE MOVEMENTS.
