Pierre Robin sequence with congenital talipes equinovarus

Abstract

Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is a heterogeneous birth defect with a prevalence of 1 per 8,500 to 1 per 20,000 live births 1,2. The association of congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is rare 3. Case report A 3 week old male neonate presented with respiratory distress and coarse crepitations in the chest. On examination he had micrognathia, glossoptosis and U shaped cleft palate (uvula was normal) which was suggestive of PRS (Figure 1). There was also CTEV present (Figure 2).
