Proper Interventions in a Newborn with Cerebro-Costo-Mandibular Syndrome

OpenAlex English

Cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome is characterized by severe micrognathia with glossoptosis, short to cleft soft palate, bell-shaped small thorax with gaps between the posterior ossified rib and anterior cartilaginous rib and postnatal growth and mental deficiency.We present the clinical course and the early aggressive treatment of a newborn diagnosed as cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome.The management of the patients with this syndrome is important over the morbidity and mortality.Most babies died due to respiratory distress.Although brain anomalies are uncommon in cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome, hypoxia may cause neurodevelopmental disorders.In this case report, we emphasize the importance of proper ventilation and feeding in patients with cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome to maintain normal development.Multidisciplinary approach is essential in monitoring of these patients.
