Abstract

Crouzon syndrome, also called craniofacial dysostosis is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by premature closure of cranial sutures, midfacial hypoplasia and orbital defects. Herein we report a case of this rare entity who presented with brachycephaly, maxillary hypoplasia, wide parrot beaked nose, repaired bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate along with dental and orbital abnormalities.

Keywords: Crouzon syndrome; craniosynostosis; maxillary hypoplasia.
