What tests are done to diagnose Crouzon syndrome?

Your baby’s healthcare provider may request several tests to confirm a diagnosis of Crouzon syndrome. These tests might include:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scan: A CT scan shows cross-sectional images of your baby’s internal structures.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan: An MRI scan creates detailed cross-sectional images of your baby’s organs and tissues.
  • Molecular genetic testing: Genetic testing can detect mutations in the FGFR2 gene that cause the disorder.
