Pierre Robin Syndrome is a rare congenital syndrome presenting challenges of airway management not only during anesthesia, but also in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). We present a case of Pierre Robin Syndrome which was unusual because it had Mobius Syndrome and palatoglossal fusion as comorbidies, further complicating airway management. We successfully intubated the patient using a fiberoptic laryngoscope via the nasal route.
