Question
A friend’s child has pediatric micrognathia and macroglossia syndrome. Is this condition severe, and is the risk of death high?
Answer
Pediatric micrognathia and macroglossia syndrome is a rare congenital disease characterized by abnormal oral structures in newborns and infants, including micrognathia, a large tongue, and respiratory obstruction. If respiratory obstruction is not promptly addressed, it can lead to serious consequences, even death. Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are necessary to reduce the risk.
