Abstract

Crouzon disorder was first detailed by a French neurosurgeon in the year 1912. Crouzon disorder is an uncommon hereditary issue. It is acquired as an autosomal predominant attribute. The sutures in the human skull meld after the total development of the cerebrum, however on the off chance that any of these sutures close rashly, it might then meddle with the development of the mind. Crouzon disorder is described by craniosynostosis, with related dentofacial oddities. This report depicts the different clinical and radiological highlights in a multi year old male kid, with specific reference to the trademark discoveries of this disorder.
