Craniocleidodysostosis Syndrome

Craniocleidodysostosis Syndrome (Cleidocranial Dysostosis Syndrome; Marie-Sainton Syndrome; Scheuthaurer Syndrome; Hulkcrantz Anosteoplasia; Mutational Dysostosis Syndrome)

General: Autosomal dominant; hypoplastic dysostosis of the skull; shows brachycephaly or platycephaly.

Ocular: Proptosis (unilateral); prominent orbital ridges; greater vertical diameter of the orbit compared with horizontal diameter; hypertelorism; antimongoloid palpebral fissure.

Clinical: Saddle nose; prominent forehead (frontal bossing); hypoplasia of facial bones and clavicles; high arched palate and protruding jaw; oligodontia; pathologic fractures; hyperlaxia of joints; kyphoscoliosis and spina bifida; scoliosis; hemiplegia; spastic paraplegia; mental deficiency; psychosis; incomplete closure of fontanelles; dwarfism; epilepsy; hypoplasia/aplasia of nasal bones; high and narrow orbital opening; absent or diminished paranasal sinuses; small sella; skeletal immaturity due to defect in bone remodeling.
