The craniofacial anatomy of Apert syndrome.
The surface dysmorphology of the head in Apert syndrome has been known for a century. Recent advances in computer-assisted medical imaging technology allows in vivo nondestructive "dissection." The authors have used this technology to study the subsurface craniofacial dysmorphology of 14 patients with Apert syndrome ranging in age from infancy to adulthood.
