title: A father and son with a nonsevere form of Crouzon's syndrome.
abstract: Crouzon's syndrome is a hereditary autosomal-dominant disorder. In its classic form, patients experience a premature closure of the cranial sutures, which leads to brachycephaly, proptosis, a small maxilla, and anomalies of the external and middle ear. In this report, we describe the case of a father and son who both had a nonsevere form of this disorder. The two men did not have brachycephaly or proptosis, but they did have ptosis and a mixed-type hearing loss.
