J Craniofac Surg. 2020 Sep;31(6):e574-e577. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000006577.

Abstract

Roberts Syndrome is an extremely rare syndrome reporting about 150 cases in the literature, with a very low survival rate. The authors present a case of a female patient with Roberts Syndrome who also had a coronal craniosynostosis. The aim of this case report is to present a case of a patient with Roberts Syndrome with a brachycephaly that required management of fronto-orbital advancement. In conclusion Roberts Syndrome is a rare disease, which can have different skeletal variations. This syndrome can manifest itself with craniosynostosis, with the requirement of a comprehensive management to correct it and avoid compression of the brain with endocranial hypertension.
