CROUZON SYNDROME: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 29
Abstract
Crouzon’s Syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. Normally, the sutures in the human skull fuse after the complete growth of the brain. But, if any of these sutures closes early then it may interfere with the growth of the brain. Premature sutural fusion most commonly involves sagittal suture followed by coronal suture. We report a case of 6-year-old male child presented with characteristic features of Crouzon’s syndrome. Diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical and radiological findings.
