[How I treat : airway obstruction in children with sequence of Pierre Robin].

Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is described as a triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis and cleft palate. This sequence may be isolated or associated with a genetic syndrome in half of the cases. Main complications affect respiratory function and the upper digestive tract. Respiratory obstruction can arise as soon as in the first hours of life and may be life-threatening if no early appropriate management is implemented. PRS is phenotypically variable and the required treatment varies accordingly: some patients will be relieved with prone positioning alone while others will benefit from nasopharyngeal tube, CPAP ("Continuous Positive Airway Pressure") or rarely surgery. In this article, we describe a clinical case and then discuss the available therapeutic strategies.
