Glossoptosis causes varying degrees of airway obstruction and feeding difficulties. It can occur as a consequence of micrognathia in Robin Sequence, but can also occur in children with hypotonia. Despite several attempts to classify severity in Robin Sequence patients, taking into account symptoms, presence of concomitant syndromes or malformations, and even endoscopic findings, there is still no general consensus. Furthermore, several management recommendations have been reported without an agreement about indications, efficacy, or risks of each treatment option. The present article provides an overview of clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of patients with glossoptosis.
小颌畸形会导致不同程度的气道阻塞和喂养困难。它可能是罗宾序列征中小颌畸形的结果，但也可能发生在肌张力低下的儿童中。尽管人们多次尝试对罗宾序列征患者的严重程度进行分类，考虑到症状、伴随综合征或畸形的存在，甚至内镜检查结果，但仍未达成普遍共识。此外，已经报道了几种治疗建议，但对于每种治疗方案的适应症、疗效或风险尚未达成一致。本文概述了小颌畸形患者的临床表现、诊断、治疗和预后。
