Multidisciplinary Aspects of 104 Patients with Pierre Robin Sequence

Abstract

Even though the mean weight percentile for newborns with Pierre Robin sequence was low, the patients did not show a growth spurt during the first year of life. The high rate of velopharyngeal insufficiency after cleft palate repair in patients with Pierre Robin sequence needs further investigation. Also, the high rate of autism spectrum disorder among boys with Pierre Robin sequence prompts further investigation.
