A genetically remarkable case of the Vogt syndrome (combination of the Apert and Crouzon syndromes) associated with a dysraphia syndrome is described. Clinically, malformations corresponding to the Apert syndrome were prominent, and radiological examination of the skull revealed a prominent Crouzon syndrome. Investigation of the familial background revealed the presence of malformations in other members of the family, such as malformation of the extremities and acrocephalus. On the other hand, the father's age of 63 years was considerably higher than that of fathers in the average population, so that the possibility of a new mutation had to be considered. The fact that the mother suffered an attack of influenza during pregnancy, finally, brought the possibility of peristatic influences being involved in the complex malformations.

Review
Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) is a rare autosomal dominant craniofacial disorder characterized by primary craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia, and extremities' abnormalities including syndactyly. The purpose of this article was to review the current knowledge regarding how PS affects the nervous system. Methodologically, we conducted a systematic review of the existing literature concerning involvement of the nervous system in PS. Multiple-suture synostosis is common, and it is the premature fusion and abnormal growth of the facial skeleton's bones that cause the characteristic facial features of these patients. Brain abnormalities in PS can be primary or secondary. Primary anomalies are specific developmental brain defects including disorders of the white matter. Secondary anomalies are the result of skull deformity and include intracranial hypertension, hydrocephalus, and Chiari type I malformation. Spinal anomalies in PS patients include fusion of vertebrae, "butterfly" vertebra, and sacrococcygeal extension. Different features have been observed in different types of this syndrome. Cloverleaf skull deformity characterizes PS type II. The main neurological abnormalities are mental retardation, learning difficulties, and seizures. The tricky neurological examination in severely affected patients makes difficult the early diagnosis of neurological and neurosurgical complications. Prenatal diagnosis of PS is possible either molecularly or by sonography, and the differential diagnosis includes other craniosynostosis syndromes. Knowing how PS affects the nervous system is important, not only for understanding its pathogenesis and determining its prognosis but also for the guidance of decision-making in the various critical steps of its management. The latter necessitates an experienced multidisciplinary team.

Apert syndrome (acrocephalosyndactyly) is a rare developmental malformation characterized by craniosynostosis, mid-face hypoplasia, symmetrical syndactyly of hands and feet. The prodromal characteristics for the typical cranio-facial appearance are early craniosynostosis of the coronal suture, cranial base and agenesis of the sagittal suture. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of Apert syndrome with emphasis on craniofacial and oral features in an eighteen-month-old male child. The patient presented with several craniofacial deformities, including brachycephaly, midface hypoplasia, flat face, hypertelorism, ocular proptosis, downslanting palpebral fissures. Syndactylies with osseous fusion of the hands and feet were also observed. Intraoral findings included delayed eruption of teeth, high arched palate with pseudo cleft in the posterior one third.

Review
Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited disorder that associates craniosynostosis, broad and deviated thumbs and big toes, and partial syndactyly on hands and feet. Hydrocephaly may be found occasionally, along with severe ocular proptosis, ankylosed elbows, abnormal viscera, and slow development. Based on the severity of the phenotype, Pfeiffer syndrome is divided into three clinical subtypes. Type 1 "classic" Pfeiffer syndrome involves individuals with mild manifestations including brachycephaly, midface hypoplasia and finger and toe abnormalities; it is associated with normal intelligence and generally good outcome. Type 2 consists of cloverleaf skull, extreme proptosis, finger and toe abnormalities, elbow ankylosis or synostosis, developmental delay and neurological complications. Type 3 is similar to type 2 but without a cloverleaf skull. Clinical overlap between the three types may occur. Pfeiffer syndrome affects about 1 in 100,000 individuals. The disorder can be caused by mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor genes FGFR-1 or FGFR-2. Pfeiffer syndrome can be diagnosed prenatally by sonography showing craniosynostosis, hypertelorism with proptosis, and broad thumb, or molecularly if it concerns a recurrence and the causative mutation was found. Molecular genetic testing is important to confirm the diagnosis. Management includes multiple-staged surgery of craniosynostosis. Midfacial surgery is performed to reduce the exophthalmos and the midfacial hypoplasia.
