Exophthalmus–prenatal ultrasonic features for diagnosis of Crouzon syndrome

Prenatal real‐time ultrasonographic diagnosis of exophthalmus is presented. Diagnosis was made at the 35th week of gestation in a fetus of a patient affected with Crouzon syndrome (craniofacial dysotosis). Recognition of exophthalmus as a part of Crouzon syndrome and the easy visualization of the eye balls and palpebrae in the third trimester made the diagnosis possible.
