[Pitfalls in the diagnosis and primary treatment of the Pierre Robin syndrome. Glosso-palato-mandibular respiratory distress in the hypotrophic infant].
This congenital affection is frequently unrecognized as being a severe entity requiring early diagnosis and treatment, the latter in some cases involving emergency neonatal surgery. Constant surveillance should enable immediate intervention on the first signs of nutritional, infections or respiratory complications. Their repetition requires anterior fixation of the tongue to ensure adequate growth. The nature of the glossoptosis and palatal cleft determines symptoms and course, but these are also affected directly by the neurosomatic context. In these respects, and in order to isolate the syndrome described in this report from within the framework of the diagnostic imprecision of Pierre Robin's syndromes, it can be defined as "glosso-palato-mandibular respiratory distress of hypotrophic infants". This terminology combines elements of the clinical picture with target symptoms for therapy.
