ABSTRACT

Robin sequence (RS) is diagnosed by the clinical triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction. The reported occurrence is variable and noted in 1:8,500 to 1:20,000 live births. Although advances in perinatal imaging, neonatal resuscitation, non-invasive respiratory support and surgical techniques can mitigate against adverse outcomes, there remains much debate as to the best treatment for children born with RS. This review will outline surgical treatment of cleft palate and speech outcomes for children with RS.
