Abstract:
Crouzon's disease is a peculiar type of craniosynostosis which is premature closure of the suture, and deformities of craniofacial bone. Such a many deformities are caused by continuing brain growth unrelated to damaged bone growth. The authors presented a case of Crouzon's disease in a 4-year old male patient who has characteristic clinical findings with particular sensory neural type hearing loss and generalized seizure.
