Abstract
Two cases of Apert's syndrome were presented. The manifestations of Oxycephaly, Syndactyly, Frontal bossing, and Midfacial retrusion with some intraoral minor anomalies were associated with the patients.
The craniofacial forms in both patients were examined by the measurement analysis of x-ray cephalograms.
Discussions were mainly focused on the relation between the cranial forms and the maxillary retrusion, and on the role of the cranial base synchondrosis and synostosis concerning the maxillary growth.
