What is the Pierre Robin Syndrome/Sequence?
The Pierre Robin Syndrome/Sequence is mainly used to refer to children who are born with three major disorders and these are;
- A lower jaw that has not properly developed
- A cleft palate
- An interference with the breathing of the child
These disorders come about through the improper development of the lower jaw which then leads to the inception of the remaining two disorders.
These three main things are what medical practitioners refer to as the Pierre Robin Syndrome/Sequence.
