Abstract:
Apert syndrome is a congenital type 1 acrocephalosyndactyly characterized by craniosynostosis, dysmorphic facial features and symmetrical syndactyly. There is premature fusion of cranial sutures which leads to restriction of intracranial and orbital space expansion giving characteristic dysmorphic facial appearance. We are reporting two cases of Apert syndrome of different age groups from ophthalmic point of view, and with different sets of ocular manifestation. Of the two cases, the one who presented early had a better visual prognosis. Apert Syndrome has a social stigma and the patients often suffers social and psychological disturbances. Patient counselling, timely management by multidisciplinary approach and regular follow ups are an important aspect which can offer a better quality of life.
