Patient's question:
The son of my friend was born and died very soon after. Now my friend is very sad, and I keep calling her. Her family members said that he suffered from congenital hypoglossia syndrome and died due to delayed rescue. After hearing this, I really want to learn more about this disease.Doctor's answer:
Microglossia-micrognathia syndrome, also known as Cleft-lip and palate-micrognathia syndrome, micrognathia and sublingual syndrome, micrognathia and macroglossia syndrome, airway obstruction syndrome, Robin syndrome, Pierre Robin syndrome, and so on. The symptoms are characterized by congenital micrognathia in newborns and infants, along with cleft lip, palate, and inspiratory airway obstruction. Respiratory obstruction caused by this symptom can lead to death, and the incidence rate is very high.
