Crouzon Syndrome
Crouzon Syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by the premature fusion of certain skull bones, leading to an abnormal head shape and facial features. This condition is caused by mutations in the FGFR2 or FGFR3 genes, which are important for bone development. Individuals with Crouzon Syndrome may also experience issues with vision, hearing, and dental problems due to the changes in skull and facial structure.
Treatment for Crouzon Syndrome often involves surgery to correct skull shape and improve facial appearance. Additional therapies may be necessary to address hearing or vision problems. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected.
