Abstract

Background

GAPO (growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and optic atrophy) as a rare genetic disorder includes growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and optic atrophy. It was reported to be associated with craniosynostosis and intracranial hypertension.

Case Report

A patient with such a rare disorder associated with multisuture craniosynostosis and headache is presented. Surgery has been done due to intracranial hypertension.

Conclusions

Abnormal intraoperative findings including sever pericranium and dural adhesions and extraordinary bleeding related to this syndrome are described.
