Crouzon Syndrome

Crouzon syndrome, also known as craniofacial dysostosis, is a complex genetic birth disorder that may affect a child’s face, skull, and teeth. In a child with this syndrome, premature fusion of certain skull bones (craniosynostosis) prevents the skull from growing normally and affects the shape of the head and face; sometimes causing increased pressure around the brain.
