Apert's Syndrome

"As described by Dr. Eugene Apert in 1906, Apert's syndrome is characterized by the clinical triad of craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia, and symmetric syndactyly of the hands and feet.[1] These children present with irregular craniosynostosis characterized by a high, full forehead and a fiat occiput and early fusion of the coronal sutures. In infancy, there is a wide and gaping defect in the region of the sagittal and metopic sutures, resulting in an enlarged fontanelle."
