Neonates have distinctive anatomic and physiologic features that predispose them to
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The overall prevalence of neonatal OSA is unknown …

Pierre Robin sequence is defined by the clinical triad: mandibular hypoplasia, glossoptosis,
and airway obstruction. In his 1923 publication, Robin first described the eponymous …

Robin sequence is characterized by mandibular retrognathia, airway obstruction, and

Purpose Infants with Robin sequence (RS) typically have impaired weight gain, presumed to
result primarily from upper airway obstruction. Operations that improve airway obstruction …

This retrospective cohort study was performed to assess weight gain in infants with Robin
sequence (RS) treated by mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO). The primary outcome …

Robin sequence (RS) is diagnosed in infants born with micrognathia, glossoptosis and
varying degrees of upper airway obstruction (UAO). Due to the variable levels of hypoxia …

Background: Mandibular distraction osteogenesis is effective for the correction of severe
tongue-based airway obstruction in infants with Pierre Robin sequence. Involved …

Background: Studies of infants with micrognathia, especially Robin sequence, are limited by
its rarity and both phenotypic and diagnostic variability. Most knowledge of this condition is …

Introduction Over the last 10–15 years, usage of internal mandibular distraction systems has
increased in the pediatric population, particularly for craniofacial syndromes. Mandibular …
