ABSTRACT
Key Clinical Message: Children with Pierre Robin syndrome (PRS) often have trouble breathing and eating as soon as they are born. If conservative therapy fails to alleviate airway obstruction, surgical surgery may be considered. Patients with PRS require multidisciplinary approaches for treatment. Abstract: Pierre Robin syndrome is a common craniofacial abnormality that causes glossoptosis and blockage of the upper airway. This renders it difficult to feed, which leads to severe malnutrition. This condition is also often marked by an absence of a soft palate. We mention a newborn with Pierre Robin syndrome with the absence of a soft palate and pneumonia complications, whose impending respiratory failure was treated successfully. To solve the complex problems that these babies and their families are facing, a multidisciplinary approach is needed.
