Apert syndrome is characterized by a hyperacrobrachycephalic skull with a flattened occiput, and malformations of the midface, hands and feet, as well as complicated multiple craniosynostosis and dysmorphism of the skull. Several authors have recently reported in the treatment of complicated skull anomalies that simple x-ray and axial/coronal CT imaging cannot provide sufficiently precise information, and presurgical planning cannot be based on the findings of these procedures ; three-dimensional(3D) reconstruction of CT images is, instead, needed. By means of a computerized simulation, the authors reformatted skull contour on a monitor using the method of splitting and remodeling a 3D skull image. Surgery was performed and the result was good. Presurgical computerized simulation was thus shown to be very helpful for the surgical correction of complicated craniosynostosis.

Craniosynostoses are a complex and heterogenous group of conditions. The purpose of this review is to describe the entity of craniosynostosis and its associated genes along with the opthalmic ans systemic findings. Several genes such as FGRs,TWIST1, and MSX2 are involved in both syndromic and non-syndromic craniosynostosis.

Apert described acrocephalosyndactly as a clinical entity in 1906. The classic description of this syndrome includes patient with a combination of acrocephaly and syndactyly of either fingers, toes or both. More than 200 cases have been reported in the world literature. Authors experienced on case of the classic pattern of Apert syndrome and treated surgically for syndactyly. This one case was reported on this paper with brief review of the relevant literatures.

Apert syndrome, or acrocephalosyndactyly is a complex of associated malformations, which are craniosynostosis and symmetric complex syndactyly of the hands and feet. The syndrome was first described by Apert in 1906. Review of the worlds literature disclosed about 200 similar cases and 9 Cases in Korea. Authors experienced one case of Apert syndrome and treated surgically for acro-syndactyly and polydactyly of both hands and feet. The case was compared with the other previously reported cases in Korea.
