“…On radiographs, craniosynostosis can be seen as a copper-beaten appearance of the calvarium, which is brought on by irregular convolutional gyral patterning on the inner table of the calvarium as a result of the growing brain's continuous pulsatile pressure on the flexible cranium, which is best seen on the anterior aspect of the skull [ 3 ]. Crouzon's syndrome is among the various types of craniosynostosis, having a prevalence in the range of 15 to 16 cases per million live births [ 4 ]. This syndrome is usually associated with a triad of craniosynostosis, mid-face hypoplasia, and proptosis.…”

An uncommon autosomal dominant condition known as Crouzon's syndrome causes abnormalities of the skull and face. It accounts for 4.8% of all cases of craniosynostosis and is by far the most prevalent condition among them. The fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 (FGFR-2) gene mutation that leads to early suture line closure is the basis for the development of Crouzon's syndrome. It appears as a copper-beaten skull on radiographs, which may indicate a disruption of the brain's normal growth due to elevated intracranial pressure. This report describes a case of a four-year-old kid who exhibits the typical symptoms of Crouzon's syndrome like craniosynostosis, hypertelorism, and flattened nasal bridge. We also make an effort to investigate the connection between Crouzon syndrome and the emergence of a copper-beaten skull and related factors.
