Crouzon syndrome

Crouzon syndrome is a genetic disorder where the bones in a baby’s skull fuse together too early, leading to an abnormal head shape and facial features. This early fusion can cause a bulging forehead, wide-set eyes, and a beaked nose. It may also result in vision problems, breathing difficulties, and dental issues. The condition is inherited and varies in severity. Treatment typically involves surgery to correct skull shape and facial features, helping improve function and appearance. Early diagnosis and management are important for better outcomes and to address any associated health concerns.
