Abstract | Objective: To describe Pierre Robin sequence patients with a cleft palate from a multidisciplinary perspective. Patients: A total of 104 individuals with Pierre Robin sequence and cleft palate, born between 1980 and 2010. Method: Data were collected retrospectively and compared with large control groups. Results: Of 104 patients, 19 (18.3%) were treated with a nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal tube, continuous positive airway pressure, and/or a tracheotomy. The mean weight percentile for newborns with Pierre Robin sequence was 30.9. It decreased to 29.9 at the time of cleft palate repair (mean age, 13.7 months) (P = .78). Of 87 patients, 30 (34.5%) developed normal speech after cleft palate repair. Of 93 nonsyndromic Pierre Robin sequence patients, 31 (33.3%) had or are having surgery for velopharyngeal insufficiency, a rate that is significantly higher when compared with a control group of cleft palate-only patients (19.4%; P = .004). Of 31 patients, 25 (80.6%) developed normal resonance after surgery for velopharyngeal insufficiency. There was no significant difference in the rate of syndromes between the Pierre Robin sequence patients and a control group of cleft palate patients without Pierre Robin sequence (P = .25). Seven of 39 boys (17.9%) with Pierre Robin sequence had a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Conclusion: Even though the mean weight percentile for newborns with Pierre Robin sequence was low, the patients did not show a growth spurt during the first year of life. The high rate of velopharyngeal insufficiency after cleft palate repair in patients with Pierre Robin sequence needs further investigation. Also, the high rate of autism spectrum disorder among boys with Pierre Robin sequence prompts further investigation. |
