Do you know?
There is a congenital disease - small mandibular deformity (Pirot syndrome)
commonly known as "small chin"
It not only makes the baby's face deformity
more likely to cause the child to eat
, Difficult breathing
s severe cases will suffocate
is life-threatening

“The child rolls his eyes as he eats breastfeeding and can’t breathe….” When he thinks about it, Mengmeng (pseudonym) father is still scared.
It turns out that after Mengmeng was born in a local hospital, she was found to have cleft palate accompanied by a small jaw and a severe back end of the tongue. She could not eat normally and could not breathe. I thought the situation would improve as the child grew up, but after breastfeeding, Mengmeng suddenly had severe breathing difficulties and her face was blue and purple. Her parents quickly took him to Qingdao Women's and Children's Hospital. When
arrived at the hospital, the receptionist found that the child had low oxygen saturation and had signs of asphyxiation. Because had difficulty eating, he had extremely poor mental condition and severe malnutrition. He may be in danger of life due to hypoxia and cardiopulmonary arrest at any time.
The situation is critical, Mengmeng was immediately admitted to the PICU. At the same time, we urgently organized consultations among experts in multiple disciplines such as oral and maxillofacial surgery , CICU, NICU , pediatrics, rehabilitation, anesthesia , imaging, etc. Based on the situation of the child, the experts decided to first use oxygen inhalation and gastrointestinal nasogastric feeding diet to maintain the child's vital signs, and then perform the treatment plan for surgery. Under the careful care of medical staff, Mengmeng's physical indicators were stable. When Mengmeng was 2 months old, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery successfully performed mandibular osteogenesis and postoperative traction on the child. This not only effectively corrects the children's small mandibular deformity, solves problems such as sleeping breathing distress, dysphagia , and also improves appearance to a certain extent. At present, Mengmeng has recovered well and has been discharged from the hospital successfully.
What is the disease of short chin of a baby
Minimandibular deformity (Pirot's syndrome) is a disease characterized by craniofacial syndrome. Due to the dysplasia of the mandible and retracted, the position of the tongue is in the back of the mouth, the volume of the mouth becomes smaller, the tongue is relatively large, blocking the airway, causing difficulty in breathing and choking and choking in diet, etc. In severe cases, it may even cause respiratory obstruction and death.
What should I do if a baby suffers from this disease
Non-surgical treatment: It can reduce breathing difficulties and improve ventilation and feeding functions by adjusting the feeding and sleeping position of the child.
Surgery treatment: If non-surgical treatment cannot alleviate airway blockage, surgical treatment is required. Currently, commonly used surgical methods include lip-tongue adhesion, mandible distraction osteogenesis, tracheotomy, etc. Among them, the mandible traction osteogenesis method is simple, has low risk, high cure rate, low recurrence rate and stable effect.
At present, there are only a few hospitals in China that can perform mandibular distraction osteogenesis, and only Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital in Shandong Province. So far, the hospital has successfully carried out 7 such surgeries, with good treatment effects, greatly improving the quality of life of children and escorting their healthy growth.
Mini-mandibular deformity
not only affects development, but may also cause the baby to have hypoxia
Create brain damage and even endanger life
Handle once parents find that the baby has the above symptoms
should go to the hospital as soon as possible for medical treatment
