It has several different types:

type 1 - Apert syndrome^[2]^[3]^:577
type 2 - Apert syndrome^[3]^:577^[4]
type 3 - Saethre-Chotzen syndrome^[5]
type 5 - Pfeiffer syndrome ^[6]^[7]

A related term, "acrocephalopolysyndactyly" (ACPS), refers to the inclusion of polydactyly to the presentation. It also has multiple types:

type 1 - Noack syndrome. Now classified with Pfeiffer syndrome.^[7]
type 2 - Carpenter syndrome ^[8]
type 3 - Sakati-Nyhan-Tisdale syndrome ^[9]
type 4 - Goodman syndrome.^[10]^[11] Now classified with Carpenter syndrome.^[12]
type 5 - Pfeiffer syndrome

It has been suggested that the distinction between "acrocephalosyndactyly" versus "acrocephalopolysyndactyly" should be abandoned.^[13]
