Abstract
Crouzon syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that requires care from a multidisciplinary team and early surgical management to minimize complications. Despite the shared similarities across craniosynostoses, CS can be differentiated by the presence of normal bone development of the hands and feet and hypertelorism (large distance between the eyes). Other common features include midface hypoplasia, shallow orbits, ocular proptosis, and dental abnormalities including possible bifid uvula or V-shaped maxillary arch. In this report, we present a case of prolonged foot pain in a four-year and two-month-old boy with CS; we also engage in a brief review of the literature. The patient's physical exam and laboratory work were unremarkable on the initial presentation. Radiographic films showed signs of potential demineralization of bone tissue. He was prescribed calcium and vitamin D supplementation with complete resolution of his symptoms at the three-month follow-up visit.
