Various heart defects Dextrorotation Pulmonary Atresia Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Tracheoesophageal Fistula Pyloric stenosis Polycystic kidneys Bicornate uterus Hydrocephalus Ear infections Sleep Apnea Severe acne Increased incidence of eye injuries Apert Syndrome is a genetic defect and falls under the broad classification of craniofacial/limb anomalies. It can be inherited from a parent who has Apert, or may be a fresh mutation. It occurs in approximately 1 per 160,000 to 200,000 live births. Apert syndrome is primarily characterized by specific malformations of the skull, midface, hands, and feet. The skull is prematurely fused and unable to grow normally; the midface (that area of the face from the middle of the eye socket to the upper jaw) appears retruded or sunken; and the fingers and toes are fused together in varying degrees. Apert syndrome is named for the French physician who first described it, E. Apert, in 1906.

   Extractions: Apert's syndrome ( acrocephalo syndactyli = high skull plus joined up fingers and toes ) is a summarized name for a number of deformaties in the facial bones, hands and feet. In addition, the syndrome causes limited movement in the shoulders as well as disturbances in balance. Besides this serious acne can occur during childhood which increases the psychic burden, first and foremost, during the sensetive adolescent years. An uncommon syndrome: Apert's syndrome is unusual. in sweden about one in 160.000 is born with the syndrome. That means about at least one child every other year. The syndrome is often caused by a temporary change in a hereditary factor and later becomes dominautly hereditary. Mental ability varies from normal to low. Most are however normally talented but are subjected to such great strains that some skills cannot develop at a normal pace. Many long and painful modes of tretment. For children born with Apert's syndrome, the surgical and medical treatment is a long and sometimes a very difficult time. The children go through a number of skull operations at Sahlgren Hospital ( Sahlgrenska sjukhuset ) in Gothenburg which has a team of specialists in plastik surgery. The joint work with the odontologic ( dental ) chlinic at the same hospital is very important as extensive adjustment of the teeth is necessary in order to obtain a good result. Added to this, naturally is continnius contact with the lokal child rehabilization centers and clinics.
