Crouzon syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene mutation . This gene is required for the normal growth and development of the skull. Any abnormalities in this gene can result in early fusion of the skull suture lines, affecting the adequate growth and development of the skull resulting in altered shape of the skull. It is characterized by craniosynostosis,hypertelorism,bilateral ocular proptosis,maxillary hypoplasia, diminished mental function, and progressive hydrocephalus. The worldwide prevalence rate approximately is 1 per 25,000 live births . We found one such rare case of Crouzon’s syndrome presenting with complaints of protruding eyes, dimness of vision to close objects and right focal seizures with generalization.
