The tongue tends to fall back and downward (glossoptosis) and there is cleft soft palate. 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.

Sommaire : Définition clinique Evolution Génétique G ... Glossaire Définition clinique Le syndrome de Pierre Robin se définit par l'association d'une fente palatine postérieure romane médiane, d'un rétrognathisme et d'une glossoptose . Les trois éléments de la triade sont liés entre eux par un lien de cause à effet. Sa dénomination rappelle la description faite par Pierre Robin, dans les années 20, de nourrissons atteints de détresse respiratoire obstructive par glossoptose et rétromandibulie. Au moment de la croissance anatomique de la cavité orale de l'embryon, la fente se constitue en raison de la persistance de la langue en position verticale lors de la fusion antéropostérieure et latéromédiane des processus palatins secondaires, au cours de la 7e semaine de vie intra-utérine. La langue reste en position verticale postérieure du fait de l'insuffisance de tonus de sa base et d'un défaut de croissance de la mandibule. Ce

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. Treatment: Infants must be kept prone (face down), which allows gravity to pull the tongue forward and keep the airway open. These problems abate over the first few years as the lower jaw grows and assumes a more normal size. In moderate cases, the patient requires placement of a nasopharyngeal airway (a tube placed through the nose and into the airway) to avoid airway blockage. In severe cases, surgery is indicated for recurrent upper

A very rare congenital malformation syndrome characterized by unusual smallness of the jaw combined with cleft palate, downward displacement of the tongue, and an absent gag reflex. The affected child is in serious danger because of difficulty in breathing and feeding. The abnormality may occur in isolation or as a variable component of many genetic syndromes. Inheritance is autosomal recessive.

Pierre Robin, in his time the doyen of French dental surgeons, was best known for his contributions to orthodentistry, but published on many aspects of dentistry and oral hygiene. His main interest was glossoptisis, on which he wrote more than 20 articles and a monograph. He was professor at the French School of Stomatology, and from 1914, with Nogue, he was editor-in-chief of the Revue de Stomatologie.

Extractions: by Alana Poos A great aid to coping with a birth defect is simply knowing what it is. While there might be a great deal of information on cleft lip and/or palate, there simply isn't an abundance of information readily available to parents of children with cleft-related birth defects, especially those that are considered rare. The following information has been obtained from a number of sources, and will hopefully help to clarify exactly what Pierre-Robin Sequence is. WHAT IS PIERRE ROBIN SEQUENCE? Pierre Robin Sequence is the name given to a birth defect that involves an abnormally small lower jaw, and a tendency for the tongue to "ball up" and fall backward toward the throat. Babies born with this condition may or may not have a cleft palate, but they do not have a cleft lip. The condition of Pierre Robin Sequence was first described in 1822 and was named after the French physician who associated the above symptoms with breathing problems in affected infants. The current complete name is "Pierre Robin Malformation Sequence", but it can also be known as "Cleft Palate, Micrognathia, and Glossoptosis", "Robin Anomalad", "Pierre Robin Complex", and "Pierre Robin Syndrome".

Extractions: @import url(/assets/styles/main.css); Skip Navigation Search: Stickler syndrome is a genetic disorder of connective tissue that results in variable problems with vision, hearing and facial and skeletal development. Connective tissue, made up of collagen, acts like glue or an elastic band and allows muscles to stretch and contract. A syndrome is a disease or disorder that has more than one identifying feature or symptom. Stickler syndrome often affects the connective tissue of the eye, especially in the vitreous humor (interior of the eyeball), and the epiphysis (ends of the bones that make up the joints). Dr. G. B. Stickler first described this condition in 1965.
Cleft And Craniofacial Anomalies: Pierre Robin Sequence There are several different syndromes that can have pierre robin sequence. If you or your baby have pierre robin sequence as part of a syndrome, http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/children/services/cleft/health/anomalies/pierre.htm
Extractions: Employment Pierre Robin sequence is a combination of problems that begins during pregnancy with micrognathia (small jaw). If the jaw is small, there is often not enough room for the tongue to lie flat in the mouth, so it rests at the back of the mouth (this is called glossoptosis). When the tongue rests at the back of the mouth, it may prevent the palate (roof of the mouth) from closing, resulting in a cleft palate (cleft lip is not usually associated with Pierre Robin). If a child has a cleft palate this is usually repaired between the ages of 12 and 18 months. Isolated Pierre Robin sequence is often not a lifelong condition. The jaw of an affected child is often able to grow and catch up to normal size. In fact, many children have a completely normal profile by the time they start school. Isolated Pierre Robin sequence does not affect any other part of the body. A baby with isolated Pierre Robin sequence is at no greater risk than any other child for other problems, including learning difficulties. If a baby just has Pierre Robin sequence, there is only a small chance that the parents, other family members, or indeed the baby later in life will have another baby with Pierre Robin sequence. The chances of it happening again if you are the affected baby or the parents of that baby, is thought to be between 1 and 5%. Conversely, there is a 95-99% chance that it will not happen again. The risk to other family members is smaller still.
Extractions: Employment These three conditions are believed by many to be related to each other and may be part of the same variable disorder. Hemifacial Microsomia Hemifacial means one side of the face. Microsomia means small. Hemifacial microsomia means that one side of the face is smaller than the other side. Goldenhar Syndrome In addition to the facial findings, those with Goldenhar Syndrome also have other parts of the body affected. Heart defects can occur, as can differences in the way the kidneys are formed. In some cases one kidney may be absent. A person can live a full life with only one kidney, but it would be advisable to be cautious and avoid contact sports to reduce the risk of injuring the remaining kidney. There may be difference in the spine, such as two bones being fused together. This occurs in 20-35% of people with Goldenhar Syndrome. Most people with Goldenhar Syndrome have normal intelligence.

To the Editor:Paterson et al. have shown that the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) can be used as an effective method of airway management during neonatal resuscitation as an alternative to bag-and-mask ventilation. The investigators suggest caution in the use of the LMA in neonates beyond the population studied, which did not include neonates who were suffering from congenital oropharyngeal pathology. The current report describes the use of LMA for resuscitation of a newborn with Pierre-Robin syndrome after failure of tracheal intubation and face-mask ventilation. The newborn was a 5-day-old, 3.2 kg, full-term male with Pierre-Robin syndrome (micrognathia, cleft palate). The anesthesiology team was paged when serious airway obstruction and cyanosis developed that were not relieved by lateral positioning of the baby, traction of the tongue, and face-mask oxygen. Pulse oximetry showed the hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO ) to be 40% and the electrocardiogram showed sinus bradycardia (50 beats/min). An oropharyngeal airway was inserted, and ventilation via face mask with 100% Oxygen

Extractions: Le syndrome de Pierre-Robin est une anomalie du développement de la cavité orale, caractérisé par une micrognathie avec cavité orale de taille réduite, une glossoptose avec pseudomacroglossie, et un palais ogival ou fendu. Ce syndrome est lié à une anomalie du développement de la mandibule avant la 9ème semaine d'âge gestationnel. La croissance de la mandibule pendant les premiers mois de vie postnatale supprime la glossoptose et la croissance ultérieure corrige l'hypoplasie mandibulaire en 4 à 6 ans.
