Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is a condition consisting of three essential components:
micrognathia or retrognathia, cleft palate, and glossoptosis. It can be part of multiple
congenital anomalies. We present the case and outcome of a 3-month-old clinically
stable patient who has PRS with Dandy-Walker variant – which is a rare presentation in
the literature – with a large right hemispheric brain abscess, treated with multiple
minimally-invasive surgical drainage procedures with adjuvant antibiotics.
