Apert's syndrome.
Imaging features of Apert's syndrome include craniosynostosis of the coronal sutures with brachycephaly of the calvarium, maxillary hypoplasia, and a depressed nasal bridge (Figure 1), in addition to polydactyly and syndactyly involving both the hands and feet (Figures 2 and 3).
(A and B) Radiographs of the skull reveal craniosynostosis of the coronal sutures with brachycephaly of the calvarium, maxillary hypoplasia, and a depressed nasal bridge.
