Congenital microgastria with Pierre Robin sequence and partial trismus

A case of Robin sequence, microgastria, radiohumeral synostosis, femoral deficiency, and other unusual findings: A newly recognized syndrome?

“…The combination of microgastria and Robin sequence has been reported in the literature twice; those patients did not have any skeletal abnormalities or other overlapping findings with the patient herein [Giurgea et al, ; Laurie and Wakeling, ].…”

Congenital microgastria in association with Pierre–Robin sequence

“…Subsequently, Hernaiz Driever et al (1997) noted that four out of 40 cases with microgastria had micrognathia or cleft soft palate, in addition to other visceral, skeletal or neurological abnormalities. Giurgea et al (2000) were the first to report complete Pierre-Robin sequence in association with microgastria. They described a 4-year-old girl who also had partial trismus, but no other abnormalities.…”

“…After duodenal diversion, fundo-jejunal anastamosis in a J pouch and gastrostomy, she was able to eat autonomously, and has normal development at 4 years of age. Giurgea et al (2000) postulated that congenital microgastria arises from a dysfunction of brainstem activity during foetal development.…”

An eighteen year follow-up after surgery for congenital microgastria—case report and review of literature

“…Kroes and Festen in 1998, reported 39 cases in the literature [5]. Since then, 20 further with CM have been reported in the English literature [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Congenital microgastria usually occurs in conjunction with other anomalies such as asplenia; intestinal malrotation; cardiopulmonary, renal, and central nervous system anomalies; laryngotracheobronchial clefts; and limb reduction defects [7,8,11].…”
