What is Crouzon syndrome?
Crouzon syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by the premature fusion of certain skull bones (craniosynostosis).
Crouzon syndrome is a genetic disorder. It is one of many birth defects that results in abnormal fusion between bones in the skull and face. Normally, as an infant's brain grows, open sutures between the bones allow the skull to develop normally.

Crouzon syndrome - a genetic birth defect characterized by abnormalities in the skull and facial bones. This syndrome often causes the skull to be short in the front and the back. Flat cheek bones and a flat nose are also typical of this disorder.
Apert, Pfeiffer and Crouzon syndrome are examples of various types of the disorder.

It can also be caused by inherited conditions such as Crouzon syndrome or basal cell nevus syndrome.
It may develop over time in children or adults as the result of conditions such as gigantism or acromegaly.

However, there's a hereditary component to craniosynostosis when it occurs with certain genetic syndromes, such as Apert's syndrome and Crouzon syndrome.
As a result, your child's brain's growth is inhibited and your child's head develops into an abnormal shape. Other conditions often associated with craniosynostosis include Apert syndrome, Crouzon syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, ...
