Home > Medical Conditions > Craniofacial Conditions
Common Description
Crouzon Syndrome is a Craniosynostosis Syndrome, that involves the premature fusion of multiple cranial sutures and associated facial abnormalities.
Medical Description
Characteristics
- Premature fusion of multiple cranial sutures result in the skull shape being short and wide.
- Upper jaw is underdeveloped, which gives the appearance of a prominent lower jaw
- Teeth in the upper jaw are well behind the teeth of the lower jaw
- Eyes are protrusive, due to shallow orbital cavities and poorly developed roofs and floors of the orbits
- Nose may be "parrot beaked" causing constriction compensated by mouth breathing and associated snoring
Our Recommendation
Management by a multi-disciplinary craniofacial team.
