Popis: Pierre Robin sequence (PRs) is a congenital disease characterized by micrognathia, cleft palate, glossoptosis and a wide range of other anomalies. The treatment of patients with PRs may be problematic due to the varying anomalies and high mortality rate. In this case report, a 1-day-old newborn with micrognathia, cleft lip and palate, glossoptosis, a membranous ventricular septal defect and an H-type tracheoesophageal fistula has been evaluated and discussed considering the current literature. To the best of our knowledge, the coexistence of PRs with a membranous ventricular septal defect and H-type tracheoesophageal fistula has not been previously described.
