Extractions: Pierre Robin Syndrome Definition: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by brachygnathia and cleft palate, often associated with glossoptosis, backward and upward displacement of the larynx, and angulation of the manubrium sterni. Cleft palate makes sucking and swallowing difficult, permitting easy access of fluids into the larynx. It may appear in several syndromes or as an isolated hypoplasia.

Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The specific causes of Pierre Robin syndrome are unknown; it can be part of many genetic syndromes. The lower jaw develops slowly over the first few months of fetal life but catches up over the first year after birth. Posterior placement of the tongue may cause choking episodes, feeding difficulty and breathing difficulties , especially while asleep.

Extractions: This syndrome also referred to as Pierre Robin Sequence is a common variation of simple cleft palate. The baby has a combination of cleft palate, a small underdeveloped lower jaw (retrognathia) and a falling of the tongue into the back of the mouth (glossoptosis). This never occurs in combination with cleft lip and is never inherited or passed on. The incidence is one child in every 30,000. The milder form of the syndrome is relatively common whereas the more developed form is quite rare where the baby may have some problems breathing due to the tongue partially obstructing breathing because of its position at the back of the mouth. It is commonly accepted that the cause of this syndrome is that the baby has been cramped in the womb with the head pressed more firmly onto the chest than usual. This physically holds back the lower jaw growth and pushes the tongue up into the roof of the mouth, stopping the natural closure of the palate in the early days of development. This would explain the fact that almost all the babies' jaws catch up in growth over the first year of life and that this is not an inherited condition.

The tongue tends to fall back and downward (glossoptosis) and there is cleft soft palate. Robin sequence The specific causes of Pierre Robin syndrome are unknown. It can be part of many genetic syndromes. The lower jaw develops slowly over the first few months of fetal life but catches up over the first year after birth. Posterior placement of the tongue may cause choking episodes, feeding difficulty and breathing difficulties, especially while asleep. A physical examination is usually sufficient for your health care provider to diagnose this condition. A genetics consultation can rule out other associated anomalies and syndromes.

Extractions: Pierre Robin Sequence or Complex (pronounced "Roban") is the name given to a birth condition that involves the lower jaw being either small in size (micrognathia) or set back from the upper jaw (retrognathia). As a result, the tongue tends to be displaced back towards the throat, where it can fall back and obstruct the airway (glossoptosis). Most infants, but not all, will also have a cleft palate, but none will have a cleft lip. Over the years there have been several names given to the condition, including Pierre Robin Syndrome, Pierre Robin Triad, and Robin Anomalad. Based on the varying features and causes of the condition, either "Robin Sequence" or "Robin Complex" may be an appropriate description for a specific patient. Pierre Robin was a French physician who first reported the combination of small lower jaw, cleft palate, and tongue displacement in 1923. What causes this condition?

As a result, the tongue tends to be displaced back towards the throat, where it can fall back and obstruct the airway (glossoptosis). Most infants, but not all, will also have a cleft palate, but none will have a cleft lip … Frequency estimates range from 1 in 2,000 to 30,000 births, based on how strictly the condition is defined. In contrast, cleft lip and/or palate occurs once in every 700 live births … Parents who have had one child with isolated Robin Sequence probably have between a 1 and 5% chance of having another child with this condition. There have not yet been enough large-scale studies to make more accurate predictions ...

Extractions: Pierre Robin Syndrome The condition is characterised by a small mandible (jaw bone), lack of tongue control with a high arched or cleft palate. Obstruction of the airway can occur due to the position of the tongue. Associated problems are feeding and breathing difficulties may be severe. However, the jaw continues to grow after birth and the condition improves with age. Inheritance Patterns : Most are sporadic events; some cases may be due to Stickler Syndrome which has autosomal dominant inheritance. Pre-Natal Diagnosis : Where a cleft palate is present it may be able to identify this using ultrasound scanning. Further information available from: Mrs Jacqui Mitchell,

Extractions: Catel-Manzke syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive abnormalities of the index fingers; the classic features of Pierre Robin syndrome; and, in some cases, additional physical findings. Pierre Robin syndrome refers to a sequence of abnormalities that may occur as a distinct syndrome or as part of another underlying disorder. Pierre Robin syndrome is characterized by an unusually small jaw (micrognathia), downward displacement or retraction of the tongue (glossoptosis), and incomplete closure of the roof of the mouth (cleft palate). Infants with Catel-Manzke syndrome have an extra (supernumerary), irregularly shaped bone (i.e., hyperphalangy) located between the first bone of the index finger (proximal phalanx) and the corresponding bone within the body of the hand (second metacarpal). As a result, the index fingers may be fixed in an abnormally bent position (clinodactyly). In some cases, additional abnormalities of the hands may also be present. Due to the presence of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and cleft palate, affected infants may have feeding and breathing difficulties; growth deficiency; repeated middle ear infections (otitis media); and/or other complications. In addition, some infants with the syndrome may have structural abnormalities of the heart that are present at birth (congenital heart defects). The range and severity of symptoms and findings may vary from case to case. Catel-Manzke syndrome usually appears to occur randomly, for unknown reasons (sporadically).
