Multidisciplinary treatment is also a priority for other rare facial malformations. For example, children with Pierre Robin sequence are offered a special plate (Tübingen plate or Preepiglotic-Baton plate) at the university centre in the first few days after birth. This helps to treat airway obstruction and enable feeding as well as promote the growth of the receding lower jaw. In the case of facial malformations such as Treacher Collins syndrome (Franceschetti syndrome, mandibulofacial dysostosis) or hemifacial microsomia (golden hair syndrome), we coordinate individual treatment planning across a wide range of specialised disciplines.
Rare congenital facial tumours such as vascular malformations are discussed at interdisciplinary conferences and treated with the respective specialist disciplines.
