The syndrome is
characterized by cranium deformities, facial
anomalies and exophthalmos, as described by Crouzon.
In the affected individuals there are almost
always a high and large forehead, with convexity
in the region of the anterior fontanelle, The
nose shows an aduncous aspect, due to the strong
maxillary hypoplasia, recalling a “parrot beak”
due to the frontal shortening of the dorsum of
nose. There are several ocular abnormalities and
the most common are: shallow orbits, bilateral
ocular proptosis, hypertelorism, divergent
strabismus, antimongoloid fissure with marked IO
overaction, optic atrophy and exposure
keratoconjunctivitis. There rarely may occur
nystagmus, coloboma of the iris, anisocoria,
microcornea or megalocornea, cataract, blue
sclerae
and
glaucoma.
This child with mild crouzon's syndrome, has
an antimongoloid fissure, XT, sever IOOA. He
could be managed as any patient with this
disalignment. For me, I recommend bilateral IO
myomectomies.
