Abstract

Objective

The present report aimed to document the clinical features of a case of Marshall-Smith syndrome (MSS), an extremely rare embryonic developmental disorder with associated craniosynostosis.

Patient and method

We presented herein a case of a 2-year-old female patient with MSS who underwent fronto-orbital advancement for multisuture craniosynostosis.

Results

The patient’s proptosis improved after surgery, and no further surgical intervention was required for corneal exposure. A second FOA followed by revision tarsorrhaphy further improved eye closure.

Conclusion

Surgical procedures to correct dysplastic features and limit neurological impairment are a worthwhile supportive treatment for improving the quality of life and general condition of patients with MSS.
