Pierre Robin Syndrome / Bird Facies
Treatment

Text

In mild cases, the condition is self-resolving and no treatment except strict monitoring is necessary. However, in cases of severe airway blockage, mechanical intubation may be required. In life-threatening airway blockage, surgical intervention is necessary. The cleft palate is treated conservatively or by surgical intervention depending on the extent of the cleft.

I would do it. Go to a dr specializing in this. Both my sons had theirs repaired and it worked wonderful! A doctor that does this all the time can tell you if there is a good possibility of it working.

I did the surgery on my son, If I could turn back time, I would have not done the surgery. He has extra saliva all the time now and possibly sleep apnia [sorry probably spelt that wrong]. Yes his speech got a little better, but not worth it.
