Abstract

Doctor Wallace M. Dennison's excellent discussion of "The Pierre Robin Syndrome," Pediatrics, 36:336, did not mention a very effective and easy method of preventing airway obstruction. Oeconomopoulos described the placement of a heavy silk suture through the base of the tongue and through the anterior alveolar ridge. We have found this to be most effective.
