Thank you to the surgeons!
Crouzon syndrome is a genetic disorder where the bones of the skull fuse prematurely, leading to deformities in both the brain and facial regions of the skull. The only way to alter a person’s face is through surgical intervention. This is demonstrated in the case of this boy, whose face was successfully restored.
As the patients grow older, they develop worsening strabismus, deafness, and blindness. In most cases, disability occurs, and intellectual disabilities can also arise. However, many patients, with the right and timely treatment, live into old age. No preventive measures for Crouzon syndrome have been developed yet.
This boy is a perfect example of how a person’s appearance can be restored with the right medical help. The surgeons managed to give him a normal face, and now he can lead a fuller life.
