ABSTRACT
Development of the human face begins in the fourth week of gestation, as
a series of several complicated and well-organized sequential intrauterine
events, disruption of which causes some sort of facial dismorhogenesis.
Oral synechiae is a rare congenital anomaly usually recognized at birth secondary
to airway or nutritional compromise. They help to understand the
intrauterine developmental steps of the facial region.
In this particular case with congenital palatosubglossal synechia, anterior
soft palate of the patient with Pierre Robin sequence was repaired with the
oral mucosal flap elevated from the floor of the mouth by using the synechial
band as the pedicle of the flap.
