Abstract
HERNANDEZ-CERDA, Jorge; ALEGRE-ITUARTE, Víctor and GONZALEZ-OCAMPO, Samuel. Pierre Robin sequence and keratoconus, a rare association. Iberoam J Med [online]. 2023, vol.5, n.1, pp.46-50. Epub Oct 16, 2023. ISSN 2695-5075. https://dx.doi.org/10.53986/ibjm.2023.0006.
Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is an inherited disorder that affects one in between 8,500 and 14,000 people and is characterized by a triad of clinical signs. These include micrognathia, glossoptosis and obstruction of the upper airway, typically associated with palatal cleft.
PRS has also been associated with various ocular complications, including high congenital myopia, congenital glaucoma, and retinal detachment.
Because of the clinical importance of PRS, it is critical to illustrate the features of the Robin sequence to clearly define its primary and secondary clinical signs. We describe a patient with PRS who developed keratoconus as a rare manifestation of the disease and its management.
