Abstract
This study describes the cognitive and behavioral characteristics of five children with Robin Sequence associated with Stickler Syndrome. All showed preserved intelligence, with most scoring within the average range for working memory, verbal inhibition, visuospatial planning, and auditory attention. Visual attention difficulties were noted. Two had academic deficits. Four children showed symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and one was diagnosed with ADHD and Specific Learning Disorder, also presenting signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Findings highlight the need for systematic, multidisciplinary follow-up, emphasizing sleep-related respiratory evaluation as a differential diagnosis for inattention, hyperactivity, and academic difficulties.
期刊介绍:
The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal (CPCJ) is the premiere peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to current research on etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in all areas pertaining to craniofacial anomalies. CPCJ reports on basic science and clinical research aimed at better elucidating the pathogenesis, pathology, and optimal methods of treatment of cleft and craniofacial anomalies. The journal strives to foster communication and cooperation among professionals from all specialties.
