Pierre Robin

Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) causes anomalies that can include micrognathia, cleft palate, and glossoptosis. At birth, infants typically present with a small mandible (micrognathia) which displaces the tongue posteriorly and causes breathing difficulties due to airway obstruction. A large, U-shaped cleft palate is often associated with this condition and the combined phenotype can be seen in isolation or in conjunction with a syndrome. In the neonatal period, management of PRS focuses on airway obstruction and feeding through conservative positioning techniques that are often successful. However, infants that do not respond to conservative measures require surgical intervention such as tongue-lip adhesion, tracheostomy, or mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) to manage their airway. While each of these surgical procedures have been used effectively, the process of MDO has become the definitive technique to surgically correct the airway obstruction in PRS by lengthening the mandible, which also brings the tongue forward and out of the airway. Feeding intervention is directly related to the resolution of micrognathia which in turn advances the tongue base anteriorly, resolving the glossoptosis and airway obstruction. The infant's feeding experience, including pre-surgery and post-surgery considerations, are discussed.

Isolated Cleft Palate

Williams–Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a rare multisystem disorder caused by a hemizygous deletion of the elastin gene on chromosome 7q11.23. WBS patients have characteristic skeletal features and dental anomalies accompanied by mental retardation, a friendly outgoing personality, and mild to moderate intellectual disability or learning problems. In this case report, we present the combined orthodontic and surgical treatment of a WBS patient with an isolated cleft palate through a long-term follow-up from the age of 5 to 24 years. During the period of active treatment, comprehensive orthodontic treatment combined with maxillary anterior segmental distraction osteogenesis and prosthetic treatment using dental implants were effective in dramatically improving the patient’s malocclusion. The patient’s mental abilities and the cooperation shown by the patient and her family were crucial for the success of this complex and long-term treatment course.
