Clinical signs, interventions, and treatment course of three different treatment protocols in patients with Crouzon syndrome with acanthosis nigricans

This study demonstrates that patients with the mutation c.1172C>A (p.Ala391Glu) in the FGFR3 gene have a severe disease trajectory, requiring multiple surgical procedures. The timing and order of interventions have changed among patients and centers. It was not possible to differentiate the effect of a more severe clinical presentation from the effect of treatment order on outcome.
