| Popis: | Pierre Robin sequence is characterized by micrognathia and glossoptosis causing upper airway obstruction. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis is a mandibular lengthening procedure performed in neonates and children with Pierre Robin sequence to alleviate airway compromise. This pictorial review demonstrates the role of imaging in the preoperative and postoperative assessment of these children. It is important for pediatric radiologists to know what information about the mandible and airway the craniofacial surgeon needs from preoperative imaging and to identify any complications these children may encounter after surgery. |
