Extractions: helpful? yes no Pierre Robin syndrome: Robin Anomalad Pierre Robin Sequence is named after a French physician who identified the main features of the condition. 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.

Extractions: Introduction Clefts of the Lip and Palate Ear Reconstruction Craniosynostosis Orbital Reconstruction Treacher Collins Syndrome ... Summary This syndrome was described in 1923 by Pierre Robin in which he described airway obstruction associated with glossoptosis and hypoplasia of the mandible. Today this syndrome is characterized by retrognathia or micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction. An incomplete cleft of the palate is associated with the syndrome in approximately 50% of these patients. In patients with micrognathia (small jaw) or retrognathia, the chin is posteriorly displaced causing the tongue to fall backward toward the posterior pharyngeal wall. This results in obstruction of the airway on inspiration. Crying or straining by these children can often keep the airway open. However, when the child relaxes or falls asleep, airway obstruction occurs. Due to these respiratory problems, feeding may become very difficult. This can lead to a sequence of events: glossoptosis, airway obstruction, crying or straining with increased energy expenditure and decreased oral intake. This vicious cycle of events if untreated can led to exhaustion, cardiac failure, and ultimately death.

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.
