This paper presents a case of Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS), perinatal asphyxia, and severe
respiratory distress in a neonate born at 37 weeks of gestation. The incidence of PRS is reported as 1 in
8,500 in the literature. PRS is a congenital anomaly characterized by mandibular hypoplasia, glossoptosis,
and cleft palate. This study discusses the clinical findings of the case and reviews the current literature on
