[Microphthalmos in Pierre Robin syndrome. Clinical and x-ray computed tomographic study].

The Pierre Robin Syndrome is characterized by three defects (8,9): micrognathia, cleft palate and glossoptosis responsible for respiratory failure. The new definition of this syndrome associates retrognathia, cleft palate and respiratory distress. This respiratory distress is mixed: obstructive due to glossoptosis, and central, secondary to brainstem immaturity (1,2). The main ocular manifestations associated with the syndrome are congenital glaucoma, high congenital myopia and retinal detachment. Microphtalmia has already been reported, but is infrequent. We present a clinical case of a major microphthalmia in a Pierre Robin Syndrome, confirmed by CT scan exploration.
