    Re: Syndromes

    this is Crouzon syndrome

    pathology is a combo of 1st and 2 nd branchial arch development and premature closure of mainly the coronal suture.

    since the coronal sutures close prematurely the forehead is not will developed and the sockets seem to bulge ( becos they have no roof )

    +

    mid face hypoplasia, gives the impression of a protruding chin and the face looks concave ( more appreciable in a profile view )
