Our Experience With Regional Anesthesia in a Case of Pierre Robin Syndrome.

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...

سندرم پیرروبین ( THE PIERRE ROBIN SYNDROME )

A Case Report: Nager Acrofacial Dysostosis

Introduction: Nager syndrome is a malformation resulting from problems in the development of the first and second branchial arches and limb buds. The cause of the abnormal development of the pharyngeal arches in Nager syndrome is unknown. It is also unclear why affected individuals have bone abnormalities in their arms and legs. Nager syndrome is thought to have an autosomal recessive inherita...

Airway management of patients with craniofacial abnormalities: 10-year experience at a teaching hospital in Taiwan.

BACKGROUND Airway management for patients with craniofacial abnormalities poses many challenges. It potentially has a high rate of morbidity and even mortality. METHODS We reviewed our experience in administering anesthesia to patients with a diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis or Pierre Robin sequence in the past 10 years (July 1998 to October 2008). The anesthetic procedures, methods of airw...

One lung ventilation for children with Pierre Robin sequence using SupremeTM LMA and Arndt endobronchial blocker: a case report

One lung ventilation (OLV) is a technique routinely used in thoracic anesthesia to facilitate thoracic surgery. We describe a case of pediatric with Pierre Robin sequence using SupremeTM laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and Arndt endobronchial blocker to achieve OLV.
