    Robin sequence management requires individualized care due to heterogeneous causes and airway obstruction mechanisms. Direct endoscopic evaluation, not assumed glossoptosis, should guide treatment for micrognathia and cleft palate in newborns.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Craniofacial Anomalies
    • Neonatal Care

    Background:

    • Robin sequence presents with micrognathia, cleft palate, and airway obstruction.
    • The underlying causes (etiology) and airway obstruction mechanisms are diverse.
    • Current management approaches may rely on generalizations that are not universally applicable.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the heterogeneity in Robin sequence.
    • To advocate for individualized airway obstruction management strategies.
    • To highlight the importance of direct endoscopic evaluation over presumptive diagnoses.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on Robin sequence.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and management outcomes.

  • Emphasis on direct visualization of the airway.

    • Main Results:

    • Generalizations regarding Robin sequence care are often inappropriate due to varied etiologies.
    • Airway obstruction management should be guided by direct endoscopic findings, not solely by the diagnosis of glossoptosis.
    • Mandibular catch-up growth and spontaneous resolution are not guaranteed.

    Conclusions:

    • Individualized assessment is crucial for managing newborns with Robin sequence.
    • Direct endoscopic evaluation is essential for determining the site and severity of airway obstruction.
    • The initial presentation of Robin sequence should prompt further diagnostic investigation.
