The study team has made the hypothesis that the intensity of the phonatory disorders (rhinolalia), and of the maxillo-mandibular growth anomalies (facial morphology), may have negative effects on the quality of life of adolescents with Pierre Robin sequence. The investigators also want to assess the impact of 2 different surgical protocols of closure of the cleft palate (1 or 2 step(s)), on the current phonatory and morphology aspects. These 2 protocols were performed, by 2 parisian clinical teams, that have now been merged at Necker hospital.
