Pierre Robin Syndrome treatment in Centro

Pierre Robin sequence is a condition present from birth that combines a small, retracted jaw, a tongue displaced backward and, frequently, a cleft in the palate. These features can make the baby's breathing and feeding difficult.

Common manifestations: difficulty breathing, problems with feeding and, in some cases, disturbances in the newborn's sleep.

When to seek attention? It requires evaluation from the first days of life to ensure an adequate airway and feeding.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician coordinates the comprehensive care of the baby, while the maxillofacial surgeon and the pediatric surgeon work on the structures of the face and the palate. In the presence of these signs in a newborn, having this team promptly is the most advisable course.
