ABSTRACT
Craniosynostosis are heterogeneous group of syndromes characterized by premature fusion of suture that may occur alone or together with other anomalies. Apert syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder, first described by Baumgartner in 1842, accounts for 4.5% of all children with craniosynostosis. We report a case of a 5-year-old female child who presented with complaints of inability to speak, facial dysmorphism and symmetric syndactyly of both hands and feet.
