Distinct faces: Frontal and temporoparietal bossing, hypertelorism, mandibular prognathism, cleft lip or palate, and macrocephaly. [8] Bilateral ovarian fibromas; 10% develop cardiac fibromas; ocular abnormalities: cataracts, coloboma, microphthalmia. [8] meningiomas [8]
Cranial sutures. A defining characteristic of Crouzon syndrome is craniosynostosis, which results in an abnormal head shape.This is present in combinations of: frontal bossing, trigonocephaly (fusion of the metopic suture), brachycephaly (fusion of the coronal suture), dolichocephaly (fusion of the sagittal suture), plagiocephaly (unilateral premature closure of lambdoid and coronal sutures ...
Parrot's sign (19th century), refers to at least two medical signs; one relating to a large skull and another to a pupil reaction.
