Abstract :
The autosomal dominant trait that causes Crouzon syndrome is inherited. A rare genetic disorder called Crouzon syndrome may show symptoms at birth or in early childhood. In most infants with Crouzon syndrome, the fibrous connection between some of the skull bones closes early. Trigonocephaly, scaphocephaly and brachecephaly are the consequences of premature closure. In certain cases, the disease does not run in the family of those affected.
