Louis Edouard Octave Crouzon, a French neurologist, in 1912, described the hereditary syndrome of craniofacial synostosis in a mother and son. He described the triad as skull deformities, facial anamolies and exopthalmos now known as crouzons syndrome. Crouzon syndrome (CS) accounts for about 4.8% of all cases of craniosynostosis. We report a case of crouzons syndrome in 4year old girl with characteristic features of cranial deformity, maxillary hypoplasia, cleft palate and exopthalmos.
