Insidious onset of familial craniosynostosis.
A mother, son, and daughter are presented, in whom serial photographs document an insidious and late onset of exorbitism and midfacial retrusion consistent with a diagnosis of familial nonsyndromic craniosynostosis. Papilledema was found in the 4.5-year-old daughter because of increased intracranial pressure secondary to a reduction in cranial vault size, whereas optic nerve sheath swelling on CT scan was found in the son.
