Abstract

anomalies Diabetes Endocrinology isolated Metabolism micro-retrognathia Pediatrics pierre robin sequence syndrome
Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is a set of congenital abnormalities commonly comprising small jaw (micrognathia), posteriorly placed tongue (glossoptosis), and airway obstruction; however, other abnormalities may also be associated with PRS. Here we report the case of a 5-year-old girl with short stature, polysyndactyly, and an ectopic kidney who presented with PRS features.
