CROUZON SYNDROMEIntoduction Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia characterized by variable expressivity and almost complete penetrance. (white nd Pharoah 6th edi)It is a rare first brachial arch syndrome affecting about one in 60,000 individuals.(Oral diseases2009 15,367-368). Fibroblast growth factor receptor gene mutation on chromosome 10( locus q 26 )might be the reason for the onset of syndrome.[Medscape] Disease is characterized by premature closure of cranial sutures. (premature cranio synostosis).
