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.

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.

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.
Pierre Robin Syndrome One hypothesis about this syndrome is that the arrested growth of the jaw prevents the tongue from dropping down into its normal position. pierre robin syndrome.

My eight-year-old son was born with Pierre Robin Syndrome. He had the cleft of the soft palate repaired at 10 months. He has had an extra tooth removed from the roof of his mouth. He is just starting to loose teeth (his siblings were late losers also). The loose tooth he has now is not loosening up because of the crowding of the teeth around it; it is starting to stick straight out. Should we wait for it to come out or take him in and have it extracted? Also, is it time for him to start some orthodontics? He has only lost two lower teeth at this time.

Extractions: Information on Chapter 10. Pierre Robin Syndrome 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.

Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: Lannelongue and Menard first described Pierre Robin syndrome in 1891 in a report on 2 patients with micrognathia, cleft palate, and retroglossoptosis. In 1926, Pierre Robin published the case of an infant with the complete syndrome. Until 1974, the triad was known as Pierre Robin syndrome; however, the term syndrome is now reserved for those errors of morphogenesis with the simultaneous presence of multiple anomalies caused by a single etiology. The term sequence has been introduced to include any condition that includes a series of anomalies caused by a cascade of events initiated by a single malformation Please click here to view the full topic text: Pierre Robin Syndrome

Extractions: Cleft Palate Foundation Publications … 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 … 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 ...
