    Crouzon syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by premature fusion of certain skull bones. This condition leads to abnormal head and facial development. Common features include an abnormal head shape, a prominent forehead, wide-set eyes, an underdeveloped upper jaw, and a small, curved nose. Potential complications include vision problems, breathing difficulties, hearing loss, and dental problems. Treatment often involves surgery to correct facial and skull abnormalities. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal outcomes.
