Glossopeksia in a child with Pierre Robin syndrome
Abstract
The paper provides observation from the practice of the Pierre Robin syndrome (micrognathia, retrognathia, uraniscochasma, and glossoptosis) in a newborn. In spite of the remoteness from the plastic maxillo-facial surgery centres, the doctors have succeeded in performing glossopeksia by Argomaso that made it possible to carry out transportation of the patient to the Russian Children’s Clinical Hospital. The planned hospitalization for palatoplasty at the age of 1 year 2 months is recommended.
