Exceptional Family Member Service, U.S. Army Hospital, Wurzburg, Federal Republic of Germany.

A five-year-old boy with Crouzon Syndrome, short stature, and delayed bone age was found to have partial growth hormone deficiency. Accelerated growth was observed after human growth hormone replacement. Children with Crouzon Syndrome should be followed closely for all growth parameters, not just head circumference.

D003398	Craniosynostoses	Premature closure of one or more CRANIAL SUTURES. It often results in plagiocephaly. Craniosynostoses that involve multiple sutures are sometimes associated with congenital syndromes such as ACROCEPHALOSYNDACTYLIA; and CRANIOFACIAL DYSOSTOSIS.

D013006	Growth Hormone	A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth. Species-specific growth hormones have been synthesized.
