Abstract:
The authors present a case of Crouzon's disease with advanced craniostenosis and exophthalmos. Extensive subperiosteal resection of the vault and base of the skull resulted obvious decompression of the brain and the orbit. It should be emphasized that the removal of osseous partitions penetrating deep into the sulci is the chief point of surgical procedures to prevent incarceration of cerebral gyrus at the inner surface of the skull.
