title: The prenatal diagnosis of Robin anomalad.
abstract: The Robin anomalad was diagnosed by the sonographic detection of polyhydramnios and fetal micrognathia in a patient at risk because of a previously affected child. Ultrasound in the second trimester failed to demonstrate any facial anomaly, but mandibular hypoplasia was clearly documented in the third trimester. The antenatal diagnosis allowed immediate neonatal assistance to prevent glossoptosis-induced respiratory failure.
