Abstract

Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is a congenital condition characterized by the presence of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and cleft palate. PRS has varying effects on airway patency and feeding ability and thus has a broad range of management options. The purpose of this article is to describe the nature of the background of the condition and address the previous and current trends in diagnosis and management of PRS.

Keywords: Cleft palate; Glossoptosis; Micrognathia; Pierre Robin sequence.
