- Abstract:
- A Tübingen palate plate and early cleft closure for successful airway management is described in a newborn with Pierre Robin sequence. A three-day-old newborn with an acute airway obstruction underwent primary treatment with a Tübingen soft palate plate. After stabilization of the airway, the cleft soft palate was closed after three months. The Tübingen soft palate plate proved to be a very satisfactory treatment for the infant.
