Background: Crouzon syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by premature closure of coronal sutures, results in skull and facial deformities along with abnormal brain and ocular development.
Case Presentation: Here, we report a case of a 27-year-old ethnic han male patient who presented with complex binocular strabismus secondary to Crouzon syndrome. At the time of surgery, extraocular muscles were found to be fibrotic and results of the pathological examination revealed degeneration of muscle fibers, which were replaced by adipose tissue. The entire exome sequencing DNA testing indicated that the patient and his father possessed the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene c.G812T:p.G271V heterozygous mutation. Binocular strabismus corrective surgery was performed in this patient with a satisfactory outcome.
Conclusions: This case demonstrates that Crouzon syndrome patients can show an FGFR2 gene c.G812T:p.G271V mutation and display clinical symptoms such as extraocular muscle fibrosis, exotropia, exophthalmos, and a pointed head deformity.

The craniofacial morphology in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis varies from one spectrum to another. Our study aims to explore the craniofacial morphology and growth pattern in patients with Apert and Crouzon syndrome. This study involved 39 computed tomographic scans of skull (Apert = 11, Crouzon = 10, Control = 18), divided into 2 age subgroups.

Improving exophthalmos is a crucial aspect of treatment for patients with syndromic craniosynostosis. However, in patients who have undergone previous treatments including fronto-orbital advancement and Le Fort III distraction osteogenesis and who have reached skeletal maturity, the recurrence of exophthalmos is not uncommon. The severity of the exophthalmos may vary.
