Pierre Robin Syndrome A Case Report

Pierre Robin syndrome PRS is characterized by micrognathia, ptosis, and palatal malformations. Infants often have immature mandibles and difficulty breathing. A small lower jaw pushes the tongue backward, leading to PRS. A wide, U shaped cleft palate is also commonly associated with this abnormality. PRS is not just a syndrome, it is a range of disorders, one abnormality leading to another. We report the case of a 10 day old neonate who complained of malnutrition and dyspnea and was later diagnosed with Pierre Robin syndrome PRS .
