| Abstract |
|
When micrognathia (Small jaw) and glossoptosis (Falling backward of the tongue) occur in the newborn, there is a grave danger of upper airway obstruction. These deformities are frequently associated with an incomplete cleft of the palate, and the entity has been referred to as the Pierre Robin Syndrome. This is to report a case of Pierre Robin Syndrome of 40 day old Korean male infant, whose birth weight was about 3.6kg, and gestation period was 39 weeks. From birth, dyspnea and feeding difficulty were developed. The authors treated the patient by surgical procedure (glossopexy). The post operative course was uneventful. |
