Fast and early mandibular osteodistraction (FEMOD) in severe Pierre

Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) is a congenital abnormality characterized by mandibular hypoplasia, glos- soptosis and often secondary palate cleft. It may be an isolated or part of a most complicated syndrome. The genetic syndrome that most frequently co-occurs is Stickler syndrome characterized by skeletal abnormalities, joint pain, congenital myopia and retinal detachment.
