Introdução:A sequência de Robin (SR) é uma anomalia congênita definida pela ocorrência de retromicrognatia e glossoptose, com ou sem fissura de palato. Caracteriza-se clinicamente por obstrução das vias aéreas superiores e dificuldades alimentares. As modalidades de tratamento para alívio da obstrução respiratóriana SR incluem: posição prona, intubação nasofaríngea (INF), glossopexia, traqueostomia e distração osteogênica mandibular. O Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais da Universidade de São Paulo (HRAC-USP) desenvolveu larga experiência com utilização da INF para o tratamento de crianças com SR, conseguindo importante redução dos procedimentos cirúrgicos na infância precoce. Indivíduos com SR têm risco aumentado para apresentar apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) e o exame padrão ouro para confirmar este diagnóstico é a polissonografia.O diagnóstico preciso da AOS é fundamental, para orientar o tratamento adequado e prevenir possíveis complicações. Objetivos: Estudar a dificuldade respiratória de recém-nascidos e lactentes com sequência de Robin isolada e a prevalência e gravidade da apneia obstrutiva do sono antes e após intervenção terapêutica com INF. Métodos: foram avaliados lactentes com SRI, menores de três meses, com obstrução respiratória tipo 1 ou 2 e sintomas respiratórios moderados ou graves, tratados com INF. Os indivíduos foram avaliados clinicamente e através de estudo polissonográfico. A polissonografia foi realizada 48 horas após a INF, sendo partedo exame realizado com INF e partesem INF e repetida no momento da decanulação, sem a INF. A gravidade da obstrução respiratória foi definida pelo índice de apneia-hipopneia (IAH): apneia leve se IAH maior ou igual a 1 e menor ou igual a 5 eventos/hora; moderada se IAH maior que 5 e menor ouigual a 10 eventos/hora e grave quando IAH foi maior que 10 eventos/hora.Resultados: foram avaliados 17 indivíduos com SRI, 9 (53%) do gênero feminino e 8 (47%) do gênero masculino, com idade média de 36 dias na primeira avaliação. Todos apresentavam sintomas respiratórios moderados e graves e foram tratados com INF. O tempo médio de uso da INF foi de 51 dias (variando de 23 a 172 dias). Todos apresentaram melhora clínica dos sintomas respiratórios com a INF, que passaram de graves e moderados para leves ou ausentes. Embora todos os indivíduos apresentassem dificuldades alimentares, 16 (94%) puderam se alimentar oralmente e apenas 1 (6%) foi submetido a gastrostomia. Os exames polissonográficos diagnosticaram apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) grave (IAH médio >10) em todas asavaliações. O IAH médio foi de 41,5 (variando de 0 a 104) no primeiro exame sem INF, 29,5 (variando de 5 a 80) no primeiro exame com a INF e de 29 (variando de 5 a 78) no segundo exame. Conclusão: A melhora clínica dos sintomas respiratórios dos indivíduos com SR, tratados com INF, não correspondeu à melhora da apneia obstrutiva do sono, diagnosticada por polissonografia, que identificou alta prevalência de AOS grave, antes e após intervenção terapêutica com INF / Introduction:Robin sequence (RS) is a congenital anomaly characterized by retromicrognatia and glossoptosis, with or without cleft palate. The main clinical problems in RS infants are upper airway obstruction and feeding difficulties. The airway interventions for patients with RS include: prone position, nasopharyngeal intubation (NPI), glossopexy, tracheostomy and mandibular distraction osteogenesis. The Hospital de Reabilitação de AnomaliasCraniofaciais, Universidade de São Paulo (HRAC-USP) has gained a large experience with NPI for management of airway obstruction in RS,which has proven to be an effective method for improving breathing and preventing surgical procedures in early infancy. Individuals with RS have an increased risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).The criterion standard for diagnosis is the polysomnography (PSG) which is an accurate diagnostic procedure, required not only to ensure proper treatment but also to prevent possible complications. Objectives: to study respiratory difficulty in neonates and infants with isolated Robin sequence; to evaluate the prevalence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea before and after therapeutic intervention with NPI, to assess the efficacy of NPI. Methods: Infants younger than 3 months of age with isolated Robin sequence, with type 1 ortype 2 respiratory obstruction,moderate or severe respiratory symptomsandmanaged with NPI were evaluated. The individuals were evaluated clinically and by a polysomnographic study. Polysomnography was performed 48 hours after NPI, part of it withNPI and part without NPI and performed again after definite removal of NPI. Standardresearch definitions for OSA severity were used based on the apnea-hipopnea index (AHI): mild OSA defined as 1 to <5 events per hour; moderate as 5 to<10 events per hour and severe apnea when AHI10 events per hour. Results:A total of 17 individuals with IRS were evaluated, 9 (53%) girls and 8 (47%) boys. The mean age at the first evaluation was 36 days. All of them presented moderate and severe respiratory symptoms and were treated with NPI. The mean duration of NPI use was 51 days (ranging from 23 to 172 days). Allinfants presented clinical improvement forrespiratory symptoms with NPI, going from severe and moderate to mild or to no symptoms. Although all individuals presented feeding difficulties, only one (6%) underwent gastrostomy and 16(94%) could be fed orally. Polysomnography diagnosed severe obstructive sleep apnea in all evaluations. The mean obstructive apnea-hipopnea index (AHI) was 41.5 (ranging from 0 to 104) in the first test without NPI, 29.5 (ranging from 5 to 80) in the first test with NPI and 29 (ranging from 5to 78) in the second test. Conclusion: the clinical improvement of respiratory symptoms of individuals with RS, treated with NPI, did not correspond to the improvement of obstructive apnea sleep diagnosed by polysomnography, which identified a high prevalence of severe AOS, before and after therapeutic intervention of NPI

Introduction : La croissance maxillo-mandibulaire des enfants avec une séquence de Pierre Robin (SPR) est controversée dans la littérature. Certains auteurs croient que la croissance mandibulaire est accélérée après la naissance, mais peu se sont penchés sur la croissance du maxillaire supérieur. Cette étude rétrospective sur dossier vise à analyser la croissance maxillo-mandibulaire des enfants atteints de la SPR. Dans un deuxième temps, nous aurions aimé évaluer la sévérité et l’évolution de l’apnée du sommeil en lien avec la croissance des maxillaires, mais un manque de données a empêché l’atteinte de cet objectif. Matériel et méthode : Les dossiers médicaux et orthodontiques de 93 patients (82 volet apnée et 40 volet croissance) du CHU Ste-Justine avec une SPR isolée ont été révisés puis comparés au groupe contrôle composé d’enfants normaux de l’Université du Michigan. L’analyse statistique de modèle mixte pour mesures répétées de même que celle de Brunner-Langer furent effectuées. Résultats : L’évaluation orthodontique a montré un changement statistiquement significatif pour la relation molaire droite, la présence de chevauchement et de diastème au maxillaire et le surplomb vertical. L’analyse des données céphalométriques nous montre que le maxillaire supérieur, la branche montante et le corps de la mandibule sont tous réduits par rapport à la normale. Ce dernier montre une diminution significative avec l’âge (p = 0,03). L’angle gonial, le SNA, SNB, ANB, l’angle de convexité faciale et l’inclinaison de l’incisive supérieure par rapport à FH sont tous normaux. Par contre, on remarque une augmentation statistiquement significative de cette dernière avec l’âge (p = 0,04). L’angle Y est augmenté tandis que les hauteurs faciales supérieure (HFS) et inférieure (HFI) sont diminuées bien que cette dernière montre une tendance à s’approcher de la normale avec l’âge (p ≤ 0,001). Discussion : Les dimensions des maxillaires sont similaires à plusieurs études. En ce qui concerne la mandibule, la croissance est soit plus lente, soit diminuée. Cette observation est plus marquée lorsque l’on s’approche du pic de croissance puisque l’écart par rapport à la normale s’agrandit. On voit une tendance à la croissance hyperdivergente qui pourrait expliquer l’augmentation de la HFI avec l’âge. Le fait que SNA et SNB soient dans la normale pourrait s’expliquer par une diminution de la longueur de la base crânienne. Conclusion : Il n’y a pas de rattrapage de croissance maxillaire et mandibulaire. Les maxillaires restent micrognathes quoique proportionnels l’un envers l’autre et le profil est convexe tout au long de la croissance. La comparaison des données céphalométriques et des traitements orthodontiques avec ceux des patients présentant une fente palatine isolée devrait se faire sous peu. Nous n’avons pas été en mesure d’atteindre nos objectifs concernant l’apnée du sommeil. Une étude prospective serait à prévoir pour y arriver. / Introduction: Maxillo-mandibular growth in children with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is controversial in the literature. Some authors believe that mandibular growth is accelerated after birth, but few have looked at the growth of the maxilla. This retrospective study aims to analyze the maxillo-mandibular growth in children with PRS. Secondly, we would have liked to assess the severity and evolution of sleep apnea related to the growth of the jaws, but a lack of data prevented the achievement of this objective. Materials and Methods: The medical and orthodontic records of 93 patients (82 apnea, 40 growth) of the CHU Ste-Justine with isolated PRS were reviewed and compared to the control group composed of normal children of the University of Michigan. The mixed model repeated measures statistical analysis as well as that of Brunner-Langer was performed. Results: Orthodontic evaluation showed a statistically significant change in the right molar relationship, the presence of crowding and diastema in the maxilla and the overbite. Analysis of cephalometric radiographs shows that the upper jaw, the ramus and body of the mandible are reduced compared to normal values. The latter shows a significant decrease with age (p = 0,03). The gonial angle, SNA, SNB, ANB, facial convexity angle and inclination of the upper incisor compared with FH are all normal. However, the latter is significantly increased with age (p = 0,04). The Y axis is increased while the upper and lower facial heights (UFH, LFH) are reduced although the latter shows a tendency to normalize with age (p ≤ 0,001). Discussion: Maxillary dimensions are similar to several studies. With regard to the mandible, the growth is either slower or decreased. This observation was more pronounced when approaching the peak of growth since the deviation from the normal enlarges. We see a growth trend hyperdivergent, which could explain the normalization of the LFH. The fact that SNA and SNB are in normal limits could be explained by a decrease in the length of the cranial base. Conclusion: There is no catch up growth either for the maxilla or the mandible. Both jaws remain smaller than normal and the profile stays convexe throughout growth. Comparison of cephalometric data and orthodontic treatments with patients presenting an isolated cleft palate should be done shortly. We have not been able to achieve our goals for sleep apnea. A prospective study would be expected to get there.

Orofacial clefts are frequent congenital anomalies. A combination of genetic and environmental factors contributes to their formation. Orofacial clefts together with growth retardation belong among the indicators of embryo toxicity. This thesis is focused on the potential relationship between birth weight and orofacial clefts of newborns born in Czech Republic. The non-syndromic cleft lip, cleft lip and palate, isolated cleft palate and patients with Pierre-Robin sequence are discussed here. Evaluation of the relationship between the birth weight and orofacial clefts was performed on the base of statistical analysis. The differences were tested in children with different types of orofacial clefts and in cleft patients compared to healthy control. Statistical analysis of variance demonstrated that the type and severity of the cleft (unilateral/ bilateral) does not affect birth weight of newborns with orofacial clefts. Newborns with non-syndromic clefts had reduced birth weight in comparison to healthy controls. Cleft patients with Pierre-Robin sequence (syndromic form of cleft) did not differ in birth weight from healthy children. To verify the results obtained in patients with orofacial clefts that the birth weight is lower in these patients compared to control, two experiments on a chicken model...

Clefts of orofacial komplex are the most common birth development defects. One of them is Pierre Robin sequence, which is characterized by presence of micrognathia, glossoptosis and upper airway obstruction. Because of these symptoms, isolated cleft palate "U" or "V" shaped can be part of the diagnose. Other clinical manifestations are feeding difficulties, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and / or gastroesophageal reflux disease. The aim of the treatment is to secure the airway and the child's thriving after birth by using conservative or invasive treatment methods. Choosing of methods and procedures should be established by multidisciplinary cooperation. The other part of diploma thesis is trying to find out, which clinical manifestation are the most common in patients from the Czech Republic compare to foreign patients and the differences in management of the treatment. Furthermore we are trying to investigate, whether there is higher percentage of patients with delayed neuromotor development among PRS patients, which are under physical therapy. The last part is trying to find out the relationship between the poor posture and PRS diagnose in children age 4 - 6 years.
