Robin Sequence treatment in Benito Juárez

Robin sequence is a group of features present from birth that includes a smaller-than-usual jaw, a tongue positioned farther back, and, frequently, an opening in the palate. This combination can make feeding and breathing difficult for the baby.

Common signs: Difficulty breathing or feeding is often noticed, especially when the newborn is laid on their back.

When is care important? It requires early evaluation to ensure adequate breathing and feeding in the first months.

Which specialist treats it? The approach is usually a joint one: the pediatrician coordinates comprehensive care, while the pediatric surgeon and the maxillofacial surgeon assess the structures of the face and palate. If a newborn has these features, support from a team of professionals helps plan the necessary care.
