Life response to Crouzon's disease.
This paper describes the life responses of two adult patients with facial deformities associated with untreated Crouzon's disease. Each patient has normal intelligence, and each has two children and close family relatives who exhibit variable degrees of Crouzon's disease. The impact of untreated facial deformity is considered, and recommendations are made for psychosocial management of these patients and their families.
