Facial skeletal morphology in growing children with Pierre Robin sequence.
The purpose was to compare the jaw size, jaw relationship, and facial proportions of children with nonsyndromic Pierre Robin sequence with children with nonsyndromic or isolated cleft palate. ⋯ Our study confirms the findings of some previous studies that suggest that children with nonsyndromic Pierre Robin sequence have a proportionate retrusion of the maxilla and mandible, resulting in a convex facial profile by early adolescence.
