Crouzon Syndrome: a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene mutation
Abstract
Crouzon syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant premature cranyosynostosis, caused by fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene mutation on chromosome 10. The predominant skull and facial malformations with potential compromise airway make the crouzon syndrome a demanding issue for anesthesiologists and surgeons, required dynamic team work. In this report we describe a child, a known case of Crouzon syndrome who was a candidate for optic nerve decompression through endoscopic surgery. The anesthetic considerations and management are presented.Key words: Crouzon Syndrome, FGFR2 gene, Difficult Intubation, Anesthesia
