CASE REPORT OF CROUZON SYNDROME

JAIN AMIT KISHANLAL

Abstract


Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by craniofacialsynostosis. It is caused by genetic mutation in fibroblast growth factor  receptor 2 and 3, located on chromosome 10q25-26.  Considering the general paucity of cases in our Indian   literature, we present this case report of a 50 year old female with features of Crouzon syndrome.
