Crouzon syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive malformations of the skull and facial region. Premature cranial suture closure is the most common skull abnormality. Optic disc edema and proptosis are among the most common ocular findings.We present a case of a 5-year-old girl with Crouzon syndrome displaying classic facial abnormalities along with proptosis and papilledema. The child's condition was improved dramatically after a monoblock advancement procedure.The differential diagnosis of the condition and treatment options are discussed. The referring optometrist can play an integral role in the multidisciplinary care the patients require.
