The course of treatments, the complications, and their solutions is described. A multidisciplinary team including pediatric, ENT, general and oral surgeons, speech therapist, pediatric dentist, and orthodontic specialists should be involved in the treatment of PRS children for a relatively better quality of life outcome.
