Trapezoidocephaly Synostosis Syndrome

Trapezoidocephaly-synostosis syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects how a baby’s skull and bones grow before birth. In this condition, one or more skull seams (called sutures) close too early. When the sutures fuse early, the head cannot grow normally, and the skull becomes misshapen. In this specific syndrome, the skull can look trapezoid-shaped from above, and children often have other bone changes in the face and limbs. Doctors now group these children under Antley-Bixler syndrome (ABS). Many children with ABS have a combination of skull fusion (craniosynostosis), midface undergrowth, and joint or long-bone problems such as bowing or fused arm bones. In some families, ABS also includes hormone-related problems because of changes in a gene that helps the body make steroid hormones. Orpha.Net+3Translational Pediatrics+3BioMed Central+3

Trapezoidocephaly-synostosis syndrome (Antley–Bixler syndrome, ABS) is a very rare genetic condition in which some skull seams (sutures) close too early (craniosynostosis), giving the head an unusual shape that can look trapezoid from above, and also causing problems with face bones, arms, legs, joints, and sometimes the airway and genital organs. Two molecular routes are known: changes in FGFR2 (a growth-signal receptor) or changes in POR (the enzyme that powers many steroid-making enzymes). When POR is affected, the body’s steroid hormones may be low or unbalanced; when FGFR2 is affected, skull sutures and facial bones tend to fuse early. Care is lifelong and multidisciplinary (neurosurgery/craniofacial, ENT/airway, orthopedics, endocrinology, genetics, therapy services). Early recognition and planned surgery can reduce pressure on the brain, protect the eyes and airway, and improve development. Radiopaedia+3National Organization for Rare Disorders+3NCBI+3

“Trapezoidocephaly” describes the head shape that can appear like a trapezoid in some skull fusion patterns, especially when the lambdoid suture at the back of the head is involved. That shape is a useful descriptive clue during examination and imaging. PubMed+1

Other names

This condition appears in the medical literature under several names. Knowing the synonyms helps you find reliable information:

• Antley-Bixler syndrome (ABS).

• Trapezoidocephaly-synostosis syndrome (historic synonym).

• ABS due to FGFR2 (sometimes called “Type 1”).

• ABS with genital anomalies and disordered steroidogenesis due to POR gene changes (often called “Type 2,” or P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD) with ABS phenotype). Radiopaedia+1

Types

Type 1 (FGFR2-related ABS).
Some children have changes in the FGFR2 gene. This gene guides bone growth and suture fusion. FGFR2-related cases usually focus on the bone and skull features (craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia, limb fusions), without the hormone problems that appear in POR-related disease. Inheritance can be autosomal dominant (one altered copy is enough), and many cases are new mutations. PMC+1

Type 2 (POR-related ABS / PORD with ABS phenotype).
Other children have changes in the POR gene, which provides electrons to many steroid-making enzymes. These children often have the same bone features plus steroid hormone problems (such as ambiguous genitalia or disordered steroid labs). POR-related disease is usually autosomal recessive (both copies altered). NCBI+1

ABS-like fetal exposure pattern (rare).
Very rarely, in-utero exposure to azole antifungals (e.g., fluconazole) can produce a bone pattern that looks like ABS in a newborn, likely by interfering with cholesterol/steroid synthesis enzymes. This is not genetic ABS, but it can mimic its skeletal features. Karger

Causes

Below are “causes and contributors.” Because ABS is rare, the strongest, proven causes are specific gene variants. I include related mechanisms and recognized mimics so you can see the full picture doctors consider.

1. FGFR2 pathogenic variants—alter signals that tell skull sutures when to close, leading to early fusion and midface undergrowth. PMC

2. POR pathogenic variants—reduce steroid enzyme support, disturbing steroid and cholesterol pathways and indirectly affecting bone formation. NCBI

3. Autosomal dominant inheritance (FGFR2 form)—the altered gene can pass from one affected parent to a child, or arise new in the child. PMC

4. Autosomal recessive inheritance (POR form)—both parents carry one silent POR change; a child inheriting both changes is affected. MedlinePlus

5. De-novo mutations—new FGFR2 changes can appear in a child without a family history. PMC

6. Disordered steroidogenesis (mechanism)—POR problems disrupt steroid production, which also influences bone and skull growth. MedlinePlus

7. Cholesterol synthesis perturbation (mechanism)—cholesterol is a building block for steroid hormones and for signaling in bone; POR deficiency can impair this. MedlinePlus

8. Abnormal suture biology (mechanism)—FGFR2 signaling changes push sutures to fuse too early. PMC

9. Aberrant endochondral/craniofacial ossification pathways—downstream of FGFR2/POR, bone formation timing is altered. BioMed Central

10. Radiohumeral/radioulnar synostosis pathway effects—skeletal patterning genes and growth factor signals overlap in skull and limb bones. BioMed Central

11. Maternal azole exposure (ABS-like mimic)—high-dose or prolonged fluconazole in pregnancy has been linked to an ABS-like skeletal pattern in the baby. Karger

12. Compound heterozygosity in POR—two different POR changes (one from each parent) can cause the syndrome. Wiley Online Library

13. Homozygous POR variants—two copies of the same POR change can produce severe disease. MedlinePlus

14. Gene–environment interplay—in POR disease, altered steroid metabolism may amplify the effect of certain exposures on bone. (Inference grounded in POR biology.) NCBI

15. Pathway overlap with FGFR-related craniosynostosis syndromes—ABS shares features with FGFR-related conditions (e.g., Crouzon/Pfeiffer), reflecting shared signaling. Radiopaedia

16. Suture-specific growth restriction—premature fusion restricts growth perpendicular to the closed suture, forcing growth elsewhere and creating the trapezoid head shape. PubMed

17. Bone stress and fracture risk—abnormal modeling can make long bones bowed and fragile. BioMed Central

18. Midface hypoplasia cascade—underdevelopment of midface bones causes airway crowding and feeding issues. BioMed Central

19. Choanal atresia/stenosis development error—bony/cartilage formation at the back of the nose can be abnormal, closing or narrowing the airway. MalaCards

20. Multisystem involvement—because FGFR2 and POR affect many tissues, ABS may include heart, kidney, or genital differences. MalaCards+1

Symptoms

1. Unusual head shape—often a trapezoid look from above due to specific suture fusion patterns. PubMed

2. Craniosynostosis—early closure of sutures (commonly coronal; lambdoid may contribute to the trapezoid shape). This can raise pressure inside the skull. Access Anesthesiology

3. Midface hypoplasia—flat midface with small nasal bridge. This can affect breathing and looks. BioMed Central

4. Prominent eyes (proptosis)—the shallow eye sockets make the eyes look bulging. MalaCards

5. Choanal atresia/stenosis—the back of the nose is blocked or narrowed, causing noisy breathing and feeding difficulty. MalaCards

6. Fused arm bones (radio-humeral or radio-ulnar synostosis)—reduces elbow or forearm rotation. BioMed Central

7. Bowed long bones (e.g., femur)—legs or arms may look curved; fractures can occur. BioMed Central

8. Joint contractures or camptodactyly—stiff joints or bent fingers/toes limit movement. Wikipedia

9. Arachnodactyly—long, slender fingers. Wikipedia

10. Ear differences and hearing issues—low-set or dysplastic ears; hearing can be affected in some children. ScienceDirect

11. Genital differences / DSD (in POR form)—in POR-related ABS, hormone problems can lead to ambiguous genitalia. MedlinePlus

12. Feeding difficulties and poor weight gain—due to airway issues and facial structure. (Common in midface hypoplasia syndromes.) BioMed Central

13. Breathing problems—from small midface, choanal narrowing, or chest wall shape. BioMed Central

14. Kidney or heart anomalies (some cases)—ABS can include internal organ differences. BioMed Central

15. Developmental concerns—mostly secondary to airway issues, vision/hearing problems, or raised intracranial pressure if craniosynostosis is not relieved in time. (General craniosynostosis principle.) National Organization for Rare Disorders

Diagnostic tests

Below are the common ways doctors check for and confirm this syndrome. I group them as physical exam, manual/bedside measurements, lab/pathology, electrodiagnostic, and imaging. Not every child needs every test—doctors choose based on the child’s signs.

Physical exam

1. Head-shape assessment
   The doctor looks from the top and sides to see if the skull is trapezoid-shaped or has features of coronal synostosis. This simple view can strongly suggest which suture closed early. PubMed

2. Suture and fontanelle palpation
   Feeling the skull seams and soft spots helps detect early fusion or ridging. This is a standard part of infant cranial exams in craniosynostosis clinics. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

3. Craniofacial feature exam
   The clinician notes midface hypoplasia, eye prominence, ear position/shape, and nasal airway clues that fit ABS. MalaCards

4. Limb and joint exam
   Doctors check for fused elbow/forearm bones, joint contractures, bowed limbs, and finger features such as arachnodactyly. BioMed Central

5. Airway and feeding assessment
   Bedside checks (noisy breathing, cyanosis, poor suck) raise concern for choanal narrowing and the need for imaging or endoscopic evaluation. MalaCards

Manual / bedside measurements

6. Cranial anthropometrics
   Measuring head length, width, and asymmetry helps track skull growth and document the trapezoid or other patterns of deformity over time. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

7. Exophthalmometry (clinical)
   Simple gauges or standardized photos can document eye protrusion caused by shallow orbits. (Used broadly in craniofacial practice.) MalaCards

8. Airflow patency checks
   Bedside tests (mirror fogging under nostrils, occlusion tests, pulse oximetry trends) can suggest choanal narrowing and guide formal studies. MalaCards

Laboratory & pathological tests

9. Steroid hormone panel (POR-suspected cases)
   Blood and/or urine steroids (e.g., 17-hydroxyprogesterone, cortisol, androgens) may show the characteristic pattern of disordered steroidogenesis in POR-related ABS. MedlinePlus

10. ACTH stimulation testing
    This dynamic test helps clarify adrenal reserve and enzyme pathway blocks in POR deficiency. MedlinePlus

11. Cholesterol and precursors (select cases)
    Because POR affects cholesterol pathways, clinicians may review cholesterol-related markers as part of a broader metabolic work-up. MedlinePlus

12. Genetic testing—targeted sequencing
    Testing FGFR2 and POR confirms the type, guides counseling, and helps family planning. Today, many centers use gene panels for craniosynostosis or whole-exome sequencing. PMC+1

13. Parental carrier testing (POR)
    If a child has biallelic POR variants, testing the parents helps confirm autosomal recessive inheritance and defines recurrence risk. MedlinePlus

14. Prenatal genetic testing (CVS/amniocentesis)
    If a familial variant is known, testing during pregnancy can identify an affected fetus early to coordinate delivery and care. PMC

15. Newborn screening review
    While ABS is not a standard screened condition, some steroid abnormalities may be noticed indirectly; abnormal results prompt targeted endocrine evaluation. MedlinePlus

Electrodiagnostic tests

16. Hearing tests with auditory brainstem response (ABR)
    If ear structure is atypical or hearing is uncertain, ABR helps measure hearing in infants and guides early intervention. (Common in craniofacial care pathways.) ScienceDirect

17. Visual evoked potentials (VEP)
    Proptosis and shallow orbits can affect the eyes; VEP helps check the visual pathway when exam is difficult. (Used selectively.) MalaCards

18. EEG
    If a child has suspected seizures or episodes related to raised intracranial pressure, EEG assesses brain electrical activity. (General practice for craniosynostosis with neurologic symptoms.) National Organization for Rare Disorders

Imaging tests

19. 3-D CT scan of the skull
    This is the gold-standard imaging to confirm which sutures are fused, plan surgery, and visualize the trapezoid or other head shapes. Radiation is kept as low as possible. AJR American Journal of Roentgenology

20. Plain skull X-rays or low-dose protocols
    In some centers, initial imaging may start with X-rays; however, CT gives the full 3-D picture for surgical planning. AJR American Journal of Roentgenology

21. Prenatal ultrasound
    Detailed fetal ultrasound can sometimes spot limb bowing, joint fusions, or craniofacial differences suggestive of ABS. PMC

22. MRI of brain and airway (selected cases)
    MRI helps evaluate the brain, venous sinuses, and airway space without radiation, especially when symptoms suggest increased pressure or complex anatomy. National Organization for Rare Disorders

23. Skeletal survey (limb radiographs)
    X-rays of the arms and legs may show radiohumeral/radioulnar fusion and bowed long bones, which support the diagnosis. BioMed Central

24. Echocardiogram and renal ultrasound
    Some children have heart or kidney differences; these scans look for associated anomalies and guide care. BioMed Central

Non-pharmacological treatments

1. Craniofacial team coordination. A dedicated team (neurosurgery, plastics, ENT, ophthalmology, orthopedics, dentistry/orthodontics, genetics, endocrinology, therapies) tracks skull growth, eyes, airway, feeding, and development, and schedules staged procedures when needed. Early, organized care improves safety and function. PubMed+1

2. Early craniosynostosis surveillance. Regular head-shape checks, head circumference trends, and intracranial-pressure watch reduce risk of vision loss, headaches, or developmental delay from cephalocranial disproportion. NCBI

3. Airway management & sleep care. Evaluation for choanal atresia, midface hypoplasia, and obstructive sleep apnea; interventions range from positioning and nasal care to CPAP or surgery. Protecting airway and sleep helps growth and brain development. PubMed

4. Feeding and swallowing therapy. Midface/airway issues can impair suck-swallow-breathe coordination; speech-language pathologists teach safe strategies and positions; dietitians optimize calories for catch-up growth. National Organization for Rare Disorders

17. Social work & peer support. Connecting with craniofacial/rare-disease networks reduces isolation and improves care navigation. National Organization for Rare Disorders

18. Safety planning for anesthesia. Multisystem anomalies demand experienced pediatric anesthesia teams; airway difficulty and endocrinology status are flagged pre-op. Access Anesthesiology

19. Fertility counseling (older adolescents/adults, POR-type). Discussion of pubertal induction, reproductive options, and, when appropriate, assisted reproduction. Frontiers

20. Medication safety in pregnancy. For people who may become pregnant, avoid chronic, high-dose oral fluconazole in the first trimester because of ABS-like embryopathy; topical azoles are usually preferred. U.S. Food and Drug Administration+1

Drug treatments

Note: There is no single “ABS drug.” Medicines treat complications (endocrine, airway/sleep, pain, reflux, infections, seizures when present) and peri-operative needs. Doses are individualized by specialists.

1. Glucocorticoid replacement (POR-type). Low physiologic hydrocortisone may be used if testing shows inadequate cortisol, with stress-dosing during illness/surgery to prevent adrenal crisis; aim is normal growth and protection from stress. Side effects: cushingoid features if over-treated. NCBI

2. Mineralocorticoid ± salt (if POR-type with salt-wasting). Fludrocortisone supports sodium balance and blood pressure; careful monitoring prevents hypo-/hyperkalemia. NCBI

3. Sex-steroid management (POR-type). Tailored estrogen/testosterone regimens for puberty induction or DSD care; goal is healthy puberty, bone health, and well-being under endocrine supervision. Risks follow standard sex-steroid profiles. NCBI

4. Peri-operative antibiotics. Used around craniofacial/orthopedic surgeries per institutional protocols to reduce surgical-site infection. PubMed

5. Analgesia (acetaminophen/ibuprofen; opioids short-term). Multimodal pain control after procedures supports recovery; avoid chronic opioids. PubMed

6. Ocular surface medicines (lubricating drops/ointments). Protect cornea in proptosis/exposure; sometimes temporary moisture chambers are used. PubMed

7. Anti-reflux therapy (e.g., PPIs/H2 blockers). Helpful for feeding tolerance and growth when reflux aggravates airway. National Organization for Rare Disorders

8. Nasal steriods/saline and decongestion plans (ENT-guided). Support nasal patency in mild choanal narrowing; severe cases are surgical. PubMed

9. Electrolyte solutions during illness for those with mineralocorticoid issues. NCBI

10. Fiber & hydration to offset constipation from pain medicines. PubMed

Immunity booster / regenerative / stem-cell drug

There are no disease-specific immune or stem-cell drugs for ABS. Focus remains on surgical reconstruction and supportive/endocrine care. Below are general concepts sometimes discussed in complex pediatric care; they are not ABS-specific therapies and should not replace standard care.

1. Vaccination optimization. Keeping routine vaccines up to date reduces respiratory infections that complicate airway issues. NCBI

2. Nutrition-driven immunity (protein, micronutrients) to support wound healing post-op. PubMed

3. Vitamin D adequacy (immune modulation and bone). NCBI

4. No approved gene/stem-cell therapy for FGFR2 or POR in ABS as of 2025; such approaches remain investigational in craniofacial genetics. NCBI

5. Prompt treatment of sleep-disordered breathing to reduce systemic stress on growth and immunity. PubMed

6. Peri-operative infection prevention bundles (chlorhexidine, antibiotics per protocol). PubMed

Surgeries

1. Fronto-orbital advancement (FOA). Reshapes the forehead and upper eye socket to relieve intracranial pressure, protect the eyes, and create space for brain growth; often performed in infancy depending on severity. PubMed

2. Midface advancement (e.g., Le Fort III, monobloc; sometimes with RED frame). Brings the midface forward to enlarge the airway, improve eye protection and dental occlusion; timing varies from early childhood to later childhood/adolescence. GOSH Hospital site+1

3. Choanal atresia repair / nasal airway surgery. Opens the back of the nose to improve breathing and feeding. PubMed
