Abstract

Background: Pierre Robin syndrome (PRS) is characterised by micrognathia (undersized jaw), glossoptosis (retracted tongue), and airway obstruction. Neonates with a complete type of cleft palate, frequently present with feeding problems and aspiration is a common compliction. Presented here are two cases with Pierre Robin Syndrome. Case summary: First case is a 3 month male with feeding difficulty and aspiration pneumonia had receding chin and cleft palate on examination. He was feed by nasogastric tube initially and later a obturator was fitted. Second case is a 6 month female with bronchpneumonia and had a high arched, U shaped cleft palate and a large tongue. Conclusion: Early diagnosis for proper feeding and growth of children with Pierre Robin Syndrome is important to prevent complications like failure to thrive and repeated aspiration pneumonia.
