Abstract It is a complex syndrome entity which is less commonly seen and due to its multisystem involvement and its complexity rendering the optimum treatment remains a surgical challenge. This syndrome is characterised by facial deformities, and irregular bony growth patterns. Due to delay in making a proper diagnosis and framing the treatment patterns, even after surgical interventions results are mostly not as desired. We present a case of a 9 year old male patient who presented to us with this complex entity. Keywords: Syndactyly, crouzon syndrome, craniosynostosis, apert. |
