Pierre Robin Syndrome Summary, This syndrome was described in 1923 by Pierre Robin in which he described airway obstruction associated with glossoptosis and hypoplasia of the http://www.erlanger.org/craniofacial/book/clefts/cleft_9.htm
Extractions: helpful? yes no Pierre Robin syndrome: Robin Anomalad; Pierre Robin sequence The only features of Pierre Robin are: Micrognathia - a small lower jaw Glossoptosis - a tendency for the base of the tongue to ball up and fall backwards into the throat causing obstruction and, therefore, breathing difficulties. Cleft Palate - a cleft palate , or a high arched palate without a cleft may be present. The jaw bone continues to grow during childhood and will usually fully correct by adult life. The condition is rare. Estimates range from 1 in 8,000 to 30,000. It is generally thought that this is a sequence of events arising from the jaw being compressed which then leads to the tongue being projected upwards and this in turn interferes with the closure of the palate. However, it is not fully known why the condition occurs. Maternal virus in the early stages of pregnancy and folic acid deficiency are other areas that have been researched, but nothing conclusive has been determined. Pierre Robin Sequence usually occurs in isolation, but it can also feature in other syndromes/conditions that have genetic links, such as Stickler syndrome . Careful investigation is therefore required by experienced doctors to ensure that a correct diagnosis and appropriate care is given to babies born with the Pierre Robin Sequence. All babies with Pierre Robin have some difficulties. Some have no problems with breathing and minor feeding difficulties. Others have moderate difficulties, which require them to be in hospital until breathing and feeding patterns can be established. A smaller group of babies has great difficulties in both areas, which can persist for several months. These babies require assistance with breathing which might include the use of a nasal prong or a tracheotomy.

Extractions: Pierre Robin Network was formed in May of 1999 by the mother of a son with PRS. Our organization is made up of parents, relatives, caregivers, adults with PRS and professionals who have an interest in PRS. Our purpose is to network families and individuals with PRS and provide information to anyone who has an interest. Parents and caregivers do not need to feel alone, having a child with PRS can be overwhelming. There are many issues associated with PRS, which are unique to PRS. We do not give medical advice, we leave those issues up to you and your child's doctors. Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) is the name given to a combination of birth defects which usually include a small lower jaw, cleft palate and a tendency for the tongue to "ball up" in the back of the mouth. Many of these children have breathing and feeding problems early in their lives. Each child can be affected differently and will react different to different situations. We are here, as parents to educate, listen and help. Networking can help you accept the condition, learn about it, make your life and your child's life more comfortable. Our information comes from a variety of sources, but mostly our own experiences.
