New born babies could suffer from multiple craniofacial abnormalities, such as Pierre Robin syndrome, which consists of micrognathia and relative macroglossia with or without cleft palate. Although Pierre Robin syndrome is well described in literature, only a few have mentioned its occurrence in identical twins. This paper presents a rare incident of full-term twin babies born with the sequence...

Treacher Collins syndrome is characterized by the congenital hypoplasia of the zygomatic and mandible bones. It is a syndrome with a concise clinical presentation and mostly surgical treatment. Pierre Robin disorder, on the other hand, is a sequence and not a syndrome, i.e., in Pierre Robin sequence, micrognathia leads to glossoptosis. Glossoptosis, on the other hand, is responsible for the air...

Relatively very few number of Pierre Robin syndrome patients are affected by genetic syndromes that involve oral structures or the structures associated with first brachial arch. This case report markedly emphasizes the dental management of children with Pierre Robin syndrome. A 7 years old boy had been referred to the outpatient department with complaint of pain and decayed teeth, description ...

INTRODUCTION Pierre Robin syndrome is a congenital condition of facial abnormalities in humans. The three main features are: cleft palate, retrognathia and glossoptosis. Rarely heart tumors are associated with syndromes, mostly are isolated. CASE REPORT In this presentation we describe a 3-weeks-old girl with Pierre-Robin syndrome and giant left ventricle tumor, diagnosed initially by transth...

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.

A case of cleft palate and accessory metacarpal of index finger syndrome is described and related to the presence of Pierre Robin syndrome in a stillborn sibling. The significance of this relationship is discussed.
