Abstract
Crouzon syndrome represents the most common syndromic craniosynostosis. Ocular complications are frequent, including papilledema and optic atrophy, often related to increased intracranial pressure (ICP). However, there is a poor correlation between ICP normalization and resolution of papilledema. We describe the case of a 6-month-old infant who presented with typical phenotypic features of Crouzon syndrome. Pre- and postoperative ICP monitoring was used. Papilledema persisted despite ICP improvement after decompressive craniectomy. Possible causes of papilledema in this syndromic craniosynostosis are discussed in light of the existing literature.
