Crouzon syndrome

Crouzon syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the early fusion of skull bones (craniosynostosis) and underdevelopment of the face (facial hypoplasia). This results in changes to the shape of the head and face, which are hallmarks of the disease. People with Crouzon syndrome may experience distinct facial features and skull shape changes from an early age. Information about other clinical details is limited from the provided sources.

People with Crouzon syndrome show signs of craniosynostosis, which is the early fusion of skull bones, and facial hypoplasia, where the face does not develop fully. Information on additional symptoms is limited.

Crouzon syndrome is a genetic condition. It is linked to changes in the FGFR2 gene. This gene plays a role in bone development, and its alterations can lead to the features seen in this condition.
