Lateral cephalogram showed fused sutures and mid-facial hypoplasia. He had typical features and diagnosed with Apert syndrome. He underwent lateral tarsorrhaphy and advised to use regular artificial tear substituents. Further, he was referred and received multidisciplinary care helping the child for a better living.
