[Management of Pierre-Robin syndrome].
Pierre Robin syndrome continuously raises problems of intensive care that are difficult to surmount. A peak has to be overcome, the date of which varies as a function of the severity of the affection, following which the infant remains a neonate at high risk. Intensive care of these infants during the neonatal period involves avoidance of the sequence of disturbances provoked by the disorders of ventilation and deglutition. Surveillance of biological variables, feeding and the fight against glossoptosis are mainly the concern of medical procedures: from orthostatic nipples to continuous gastric feeding, from procubitus to intubation with assisted ventilation, and including pharyngeal catheters and physiotherapy. Surgery is required only exceptionally at this stage, mainly in the form of hyomandibulopexy.
