2024年5月29日 · Pierre Robin syndrome (PRS), or Pierre Robin sequence, is a rare birth defect that happens during fetal development. It’s a group of conditions that affect your baby’s jaw and mouth so it may be hard for them to breathe, nurse or feed from a bottle.

2018年8月6日 · Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is characterized by a small lower jaw (micrognathia) and displacement of the tongue toward the back of the oral cavity (glossoptosis). Some infants also have an abnormal opening in the roof of the mouth (cleft palate).

PRS is not merely a syndrome, but rather it is a sequence —a series of specific developmental malformations which can be attributed to a single cause. [4] PRS is characterized by an unusually small mandible, posterior displacement or retraction of the tongue, and upper airway obstruction.

2024年12月9日 · Pierre Robin syndrome or sequence (PRS) is a relatively rare set of symptoms present at birth that affect the structure of a baby’s jaw, mouth, and tongue.

Pierre Robin sequence is also known as Pierre Robin syndrome or Pierre Robin malformation. It is a rare congenital birth defect characterized by an underdeveloped jaw, backward displacement of the tongue and upper airway obstruction.

2023年8月7日 · Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is characterized by the clinical triad of micrognathia (mandibular hypoplasia), glossoptosis (downward displacement of the tongue), and upper airway obstruction.

What is Pierre Robin Sequence? Pierre Robin sequence is a set of abnormalities in a baby that develops during pregnancy. It is called a sequence because one of its features − an undeveloped lower jaw − starts off a sequence of other malformations while a baby is developing in utero.

Pierre Robin Syndrome (PRS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by a triad of features: a small lower jaw (micrognathia), a tongue that is placed further back in the mouth (glossoptosis), and airway obstruction.

Pierre Robin syndrome is a congenital condition recently linked to genetic anomalies at chromosomes 2, 11 or 17. Often called Pierre Robin sequence, the disease is a chain of developmental malformations, each leading to the next.

What Is Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS)? Babies born with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) have a jaw that's smaller than normal. A jaw that’s too small can push the tongue farther back in the mouth than usual. That blocks the baby’s airway, causing breathing trouble.
