This article reviews previous research on the craniofacial development in A
pert and Crouzon syndromes and adds new roentgencephalomehic information. I
t is concluded that craniofacial development in the two syndromes is not th
e same. Marked differences were found in the calvaria, cranial base, orbit,
maxilla, zygoma, incisal occlusion, and soft tissue profile. In general, a
bnormal craniofacial morphology was more severe in Apert syndrome than in C
rouzon syndrome.
