Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder known as a branchial arch syndrome. Specifically, this syndrome affects the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, which is the precursor of the maxilla and mandible. Because the branchial arches are important developmental features in a growing embryo, disturbances in their development ...
Crouzonodermoskeletal syndrome is a disorder characterized by the premature joining of certain bones of the skull (craniosynostosis) during development and a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans. Some of the signs and symptoms of Crouzonodermoskeletal syndrome are similar to those seen with Crouzon syndrome.
Turricephaly. Turricephaly is a type of cephalic disorder where the head appears tall with a small length and width. [3] [4] It is due to premature closure of the coronal suture plus any other suture, like the lambdoid, [5] or it may be used to describe the premature fusion of all sutures. [2] It should be differentiated from Crouzon syndrome.
Acrocephalosyndactyly. Acrocephalosyndactyly is a group of congenital conditions characterized by irregular features of the face and skull ( craniosynostosis) and hands and feet ( syndactyly ). [1] Craniosynostosis occurs when the cranial sutures, the fibrous tissue connecting the skull bones, fuse the cranial bones early in development.
Treacher Collins syndrome ( TCS) is a genetic disorder characterized by deformities of the ears, eyes, cheekbones, and chin. [5] The degree to which a person is affected, however, may vary from mild to severe. [5] Complications may include breathing problems, problems seeing, cleft palate, and hearing loss. [5]
Maxillary hypoplasia, or maxillary deficiency, is an underdevelopment of the bones of the upper jaw. It is associated with Crouzon syndrome, Angelman syndrome, as well as Fetal alcohol syndrome. It can also be associated with Cleft lip and cleft palate. Some people could develop it due to poor dental extractions. [1]

Dolichocephaly (derived from the Ancient Greek δολιχός 'long' and κεφαλή 'head') is a term used to describe a head that is longer than average relative to its width. In humans, scaphocephaly is a form of dolichocephaly. Dolichocephalic dogs (such as the Lurcher or German Shepherd) have elongated noses. This makes them vulnerable to ...
