*A very small lower jaw is the commonest finding in Pierre Robin syndrome. But the growth of the mandible seems to normalize by the 5th year of life, it however gives a characteristic appearance called as "bird facies."
ReplyDelete*The combination of a small lower jaw and the reverse tongue gives rise to acute breathing problems in a child because of airway blockage. Defects of the middle ear can lead to hearing loss. Speech defects are common in Pierre Robin syndrome because of the unusual higly placed poition of the tongue and the lower jaw.
