PRS is characterized by micrognathia (small and symmetrical receded mandible), glossoptosis (tongue of variable size falls backwards into the post pharyngeal wall), and cleft palate (U or V shaped). We report a case of 2 hours old newborn presented with micrognathia, retrognathia, and glossoptosis and absent anterior two thirds of tongue.展开更多
