Article: Pierre Robin Sequence in a Child With Ectopic Kidney, Polysyndactyly, And Short Stature: A Case Report

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.
