Abstract
Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) is a congenital condition characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis, and cleft palate that presents with airway obstruction and developmental delay with or without other congenital anomalies. These patients’ anesthesia management is challenging because of difficult ventilation and intubation. Regional anesthesia methods should be considered for these patients on a case-by-case basis. This report presents primary use of regional anesthesia for circumcision of a 9-year-old boy with PRS.

O manejo da anestesia desses pacientes é desafiador devido à dificuldade de ventilação e intubação. Métodos de anestesia regional devem ser considerados para esses pacientes caso a caso.
