Abstract

      Crouzon's syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, described by a French neurosurgeon in 1912. It is caused by a mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene. The disease is characterized by premature synostosis of coronal and sagittal sutures which begins in the first year of life. It occurs in approximately 1 in 25,000 births worldwide. Here, we report a case of this rare entity. The patient presented with brachycephaly, maxillary hypoplasia, exophthalmos, and mandibular prognathism along with dental and orbital abnormalities.
