Crouzon Syndrome (Jackson, 2009)

Features

Craniosynostosis
Exophthalmos
Hypertelorism
Strabismus
Psittichorhina
Hypoplastic maxilla
Mandibular
prognathism

Caused by a mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor II, located on chromosome 10
this syndrome affects the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, which is the precursor of the maxilla and mandible
What occurs in the disease is that an infant's skull and facial bones, while in development, fuse early or are unable to expand.
Thus, normal bone growth cannot occur. Fusion of different sutures leads to different patterns of growth of the skull.
hypoplastic maxilla: insufficient growth of the midface
mandibular prognathism: chin appears to protrude despite normal growth of mandible and gives the effect of the patient having a
concave face
Mental retardation possible if premature closure of the cranial suture lines
Psittichorhina: beak-like nose
