Abstract
Epiglottis anomaly associated with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is a rare occurrence. To the knowledge of the authors, this is the first reported case of epiglottic anomaly associated with PRS. Doctors should remain aware of this atypical presentation in a PRS patient, and the presented case highlights the clinical challenges that must be met to ensure effective treatment of the defect in terms of compromised respiration, swallowing and feeding.Entities:
