New born babies could suffer from multiple craniofacial abnormalities, such as Pierre Robin syndrome, which consists of micrognathia and relative macroglossia with or without cleft palate. Although Pierre Robin syndrome is well described in literature, only a few have mentioned its occurrence in identical twins. This paper presents a rare incident of full-term twin babies born with the sequence of Pierre Robin syndrome, which consists of micrognathia, cleft palate, and glossoptosis. Although it is a rare coincidence, Pierre Robin syndrome still can occur in identical twin babies. The treatment is a step-by-step approach, but all procedures are mainly directed to widening the pharyngeal space.
新生儿可能患有多种颅面畸形,如皮埃尔·罗宾综合征,其特征为小颌畸形以及伴有或不伴有腭裂的相对巨舌症。尽管皮埃尔·罗宾综合征在文献中有充分描述,但仅有少数文献提及该综合征在同卵双胞胎中的发生情况。本文介绍了一例罕见的足月双胞胎婴儿患有皮埃尔·罗宾序列征的病例,该序列征包括小颌畸形、腭裂和舌后坠。尽管这是一个罕见的巧合,但皮埃尔·罗宾综合征仍可发生在同卵双胞胎婴儿中。治疗采用循序渐进的方法,但所有程序主要旨在扩大咽腔空间。
