Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary craniosynostosis. Although rare it is the most common syndrome seen within craniosynostosis. It is thus important for a pediatric radiologist to be aware of this condition and the imaging findings that can be seen. This presentation will provide an illustrative imaging review of the neuro findings one will encounter in cases of Crouzon Syndrome. Neuroimaging CT and MR images will be reviewed including shallow orbits with exophthalmos, hypoplastic maxilla, mandibular prognathia, premature fusion of sutures, kissing carotid canals, cervical fusion anomalies, and Chiari I malformations. Some of the non-neuro findings which can also be seen include stylohyoid ligament calcification, various musculoskeletal deformities, and visceral anomalies.
