Published Paper Details:

Crouzon syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. Crouzon syndrome is caused by malformations of the mesenchyme and ectoderm. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of severe Crouzon syndrome in children, focusing on diagnostic and its management. A case of Crouzon Syndrome in a 17 months old male has been reported. The patient was consulted to Growth and Development outpatient clinic because there was a lack of normal physiological development. Operation procedure preference is when a child is 9 to 11 months of age unless clear signs so increased ICP are identified earlier in life. The goals at this stage are to provide increased intracranial space in the anterior cranial vault for the brain, increase the orbital volume, which allows the eyes to be positioned more normally for better protection from exposure, and improve the morphology of the forehead and upper orbits. This first surgery of this patient was performed when he was 17 months old, but there was no significant result for visual improvement. The growth and developmental aspects of this patient have not been evaluated furthermore because after surgery he never came back to the outpatient clinic.
