Like Crouzon Syndrome, Saethre-Chotzen
involves premature cranial vault fusion. Whereas the
premature synostosis causing Crouzon's maxillary
hypoplasia is central to the face, however,
Saethre-Chotzen's facial anomalies tend to be more
localized and vary greatly from individual to
individual. Rather than exophthalmos, Saethre-Chotzen
patients tend to have "drooping" upper eyelids. Saethre-Chotzen
is also marked by non-facial conditions such as fusion
of skin tissue, short digits, and various skeletal
malformations.
