A 6-year-old boy whose chief complaint was bilateral undescending testes was referred to our clinic. He was diagnosed to have Pierre Robin syndrome because of micrognathia, glossoptosis and inspiratory obstruction. He had also arrested development, mental retardation and other anomalies which consist of congenital external auditory canal atresia and congenital talipes equinovarus. Few literatures dealing with Pierre Robin syndrome accompanied with urological anomalies has been re-ported in Japan. In review of the literature, we briefly discuss the clinical features of Pierre Robin syndrome with cryptorchidism.
