Pierre Robin Syndrome<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pierre Robin Syndrome<\/a> is named after Pierre Robin, who was discovered by him in 1920. As a result of difficulty in swallowing, which occurs due to the lack of development of the lower and upper jaws in newborn babies, it brings the tongue to run behind.<\/p>\n

This causes some breathing problems.This swallowing disorder occurs when the larynx, that is, the larynx as we know it in daily language, is replaced up and back.<\/p>\n

This problem makes breathing difficult in newborn babies. In addition, in this syndrome, feeding becomes extremely difficult along with breathing.<\/p>\n

If no intervention is made under the supervision of a doctor, it can cause major problems. It can cause disability and even death.<\/p>\n

Diagnosis of Pierre Robin Syndrome<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Diagnosis of the disease is made by ultrasound and labor pains during pregnancy, which is called the prenatal period.<\/li>\n
  • But the diagnosis of the disease is usually made by diagnosing the baby with distress and a small chin.<\/li>\n
  • As the most prominent feature of the syndrome, we can say that the lower jaw lags significantly behind the upper jaw.<\/li>\n
  • During the first examination of the newborn, the size of the jaw and the integrity of the palate should be carefully examined.<\/li>\n
  • Although cleft palate is among the symptoms in most cases, it is not a necessary symptom for the diagnosis of the disease.<\/li>\n
  • Symptoms such as bruising and respiratory arrest mostly occur when the baby is in a supine position or while feeding.<\/li>\n
  • However, the life of the baby may come to an end as a result of cessation of breathing even before some symptoms are observed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Pierre Robin Syndrome Treatment Methods<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    • As a treatment method, we can say the treatment of Robin, who gave the disease its name.<\/li>\n
    • In this treatment, the baby is laid on his stomach and fed in this way. Thus, the child’s posture is necessarily corrected depending on the position.<\/li>\n
    • The lower jaw comes forward.However, only simple forms of the syndrome can be treated with this method.<\/li>\n
    • \u00a0In advanced cases, this method does not respond and is not applied. In such a case, surgical intervention is necessary.<\/li>\n
    • Besides surgical intervention, treatment methods such as nasopharyngeal tube insertion, laryngeal mask and endotracheal intubation, glossopexy and tracheostomy are also available.<\/li>\n
    • It is extremely important to choose the most appropriate treatment method for the syndrome. It is possible for the baby to be fed by suckling the mother only in mild cases.<\/li>\n
    • The baby should be breastfed by lying on its side.<\/li>\n
    • While breastfeeding with a bottle, the baby can be laid face down or fed by lying on its side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
