Abstract

Apert syndrome is a rare seen congenital type 1 acrocephalosyndactyly characterized by craniosynostozis, syndactyly of the fingers and toes, dysmorphic facial features and ophthalmic abnormalities. In this case, we aimed to present ophthalmic abnormalities in a patient with Apert syndrome
