Abstract
Crouzon's Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance caused by mutation of the gene for Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2(FGFR2) was described as one of the varieties of craniosynostosis. 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 suture fusion most commonly involves sagittal suture followed by coronal suture. Premature closure of the suture causes restricted skull growth and lack of space for the growing brain resultes to shallowed eyes and cranial and ophthalmic deformities and impairment in tooth development. We report a case of 12 year old male child who presented with characteristic features of Crouzon's Syndrome.
