Apert’s Syndrome - A Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Apert's syndrome makes up approximately 4% of all cases of craniosynostosis. The incidence is reported to be 1/160,000 live births [1]. Radiology has an important role in the evaluation, management and follow up of Apert syndrome patients. Plain radiographs are sufficient for diagnosis but CT has added a new dimension to the evaluation of these disorders. Apert syndrome is a form of acrocephalosyndactyly, a congenital disorder characterized by malformations of the skull, face, hands and feet. It is classified as a branchial arch syndrome, affecting the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, the precursor of the maxilla and mandible.
