The rehabilitation of the cleft requires a multidisciplinary approach involving a pediatrician, surgeon, otolaryngologist, speech therapist, orthodontist, prosthodontist, and psychologist. The present case report illustrates the rehabilitation of a 12-day-old neonate with a cleft palate. Since the palatal arch of the neonate was very small, a feeding spoon was innovatively modified to obtain the impression. The obturator was fabricated on the same day and delivered in one appointment.

Robin Sequence: Neonatal Management.
Neoreviews
December 2024
Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology, Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver, CO.
Article Synopsis
- - Robin sequence (RS) is characterized by a triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction, potentially leading to a cleft palate due to developmental issues.
- - RS can occur alone (isolated RS) or alongside other syndromes (syndromic RS), and diagnosis is primarily through clinical observation or imaging techniques like ultrasound and MRI.
- - Treatment aims to alleviate airway obstruction and glossoptosis through both conservative methods (like positioning and respiratory support) and surgical options (like tracheostomy and mandibular distraction), with ongoing research focused on genetics and improving detection and outcomes.

Introduction: Orofacial clefts (OFCs), including cleft lip, cleft palate and combined cleft lip and palate, are among the most common craniofacial malformations in newborns and present significant healthcare challenges. Emerging evidence has raised concerns regarding the potential impact of prenatal exposure to antibiotics on fetal development. Antibiotics prescribed during pregnancy-particularly those that cross the placental barrier-may pose teratogenic risks.
