Abstract
A 12-year-old schoolgirl presented with severe obstructive sleep apnoea due to the Robin sequence. The sleep apnoea, together with the associated findings of daytime sleepiness, nocturia, right heart strain and growth retardation, were successfully reversed by nasal CPAP therapy. This therapy allows postponement of a decision concerning corrective surgery until after full growth has occurred.Keywords
