To test the hypothesis that a new orthodontic appliance with a velar extension that shifts the tongue anteriorly would reduce upper airway obstruction in infants with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS).
Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is an effective treatment for tongue-based airway obstruction in children with severe Pierre Robin sequence.
In fact, microvascular obstruction is detected with different time-dependent sequences: first pass perfusion (FPP), early gadolinium enhancement (EGE), and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) [ 11].
Objectives: To evaluate motor dysfunction in infants with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) who manifest upper airway obstruction and congenital dysphagia.
This sequence explains the overlap between central and obstructive apnea (upper airway obstruction often follows central apneas upon resumption of respiratory effort, i.e., mixed apnea).
Neonates with Robin sequence suffer from two main problems: airway obstruction and feeding difficulties.
With regard to the obstructions that the airplane collided with during the accident sequence, the NTSB ordered the modification or replacement of "all pump houses adjacent to Runway 13/31 so that they are not obstructions to airplanes".
Multi-slice MR cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP) pulse sequences (HASTE) are performed in case of obstruction of the pancreatic or common bile duct.
The triad of findings included micrognathia, glossoptosis and respiratory obstruction; however, considerable confusion in the medical literature delineating Robin sequence has been demonstrated [ 2, 3].
Pierre-Robin Sequence (PRS), a triad of micro/retrognathia, glossoptosis, and upper airway obstruction, usually in conjunction with a cleft palate is frequently associated with significant morbidity.
