Stickler syndrome: a possible presentation of Pierre Robin sequence

Pierre Robin sequence: a "Stickler" situation?

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS The patient was born to a healthy gravida 2, para 2, 27-year-old woman. There was no intrauterine exposure to medications, alcohol, recreational drugs, or tobacco. The infant was delivered vaginally at 38 weeks’ gestation in a local hospital. Her statistics at birth were as follows: weight, 3.58 kg (25th to 50th percentile); length, 51 cm (50th percentile); head circu...

Stickler syndrome in Pierre-Robin sequence prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis and postnatal therapy: two cases report.

The Pierre-Robin Syndrome (PRS) is a rare congenital abnormality, with an approximately 1/30,000 estimated rate, characterized by the presence of the combination of mandibular hypoplasia (micrognathia or small jaw), glossoptosis (retrusion of the tongue into the pharyngeal airway) and, often, a posterior cleft of the secondary palate. It may be an isolated occurrence or part of a more complex s...

Role of SOX9 in the Etiology of Pierre-Robin Syndrome

Objective(s:Cleft lip/palate are common congenital anomalies, affecting approximately 2/1000 live births. Pierre Robin Sequence is a subgroup of the cleft palate population. Chromosomal abnormalities near the SOX9 gene disrupt the regulation of this gene and prevent the SOX9 protein from properly controlling the development of facial structures, which leads to isolated PRS. The present study wa...

The Robin anomalad (Pierre Robin syndrome)--a follow up study.

During a 10-year period 55 patients with the Robin anomalad were admitted to the Liverpool Regional Cleft Palate Units. Fourteen (25%) children died. All deaths were within 3 months of birth. Congenital abnormalities other than mandibular retrognathia and cleft palate were present in 14 (26%) children. Peripheral limb defects were particularly common. Thirty children were recalled and reviewed ...
