Crouzon Sydrome: Physical Traits
The Mouth, Palate, and Airway:
One result of the midface being too small is that the palate, or roof
of the mouth, has a very high arch. This high arch pushes up the floor
of the nose, making it very difficult for children to breath through their
noses. Another result of this raised nasal floor is that parents will
notice that their toddler's noses seem to "run" all the time. This is
frequently improved following surgery to the midface.
