The case of a 12-year-old female patient with Pierre Robin sequence is reported, in which reduction of the pharyngeal airway leads to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and excessive daytime sleepiness. Radiological evaluation, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance image showed bilateral temporomandibular ankylosis. Cephalometric data evidenced marked reduction of the posterior airway space. Three all-night polysomnographic evaluations detected severe OSAS with decrease in oxygen saturation. The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) perfomed on two separate days objectively quantified the excessive daytime sleepiness with short sleep latencies; stage REM was not present. Polysomnography, MSLT and thorough radiologic studies, in this case, made it possible to determine the severity of OSAS, the site of obstruction, and the associated malformations.

Introduction: Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) is a condition consists of set of anomalies, which are cleft palate, micrognathia and glossoptopsis. Management of patients with PRS addresses two main problems, namely airway obstruction and feeding difficulties. Airway obstruction may lead to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Treatment modalities for OSA are based on the causes. There are surgical and non-surgical methods. Non-surgical methods such as diet, medication, oral appliances and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can only be employed in moderate cases. Surgical method such as maxillo-mandibular advancement or expansion can be achieved by orthognathic surgery or distraction osteogenesis. We present a case report of successful management of airway in a 23-year old lady who has a PRS features with severe OSA. In our case, the respiratory obstruction that was caused by retrognathic and hypoplastic mandible has been corrected successfully with distraction osteogenesis and the OSA was found to be improved tremendously.
