Abstract

The Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) is defined as a triad of anomalies characterized by micrognathia and / or retrognathia, glossoptosis and upper airway obstruction. Most patients have cleft palate. Airway obstruction and feeding difficulties are the most common manifestations and more severe in the neonatal period in the SPR. The priority in treatment should be to maintain airway patency. In this study we observed a journal of literature and the surgical and non-surgical treatment and multidisciplinary Hospital Infantil Albert Sabin with maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, neonatologists, pediatricians, pediatrics surgeons, plastic surgeons, and speech therapists for patients with SPR.
