Utility of Optical Coherence Tomography in theDiagnosis and Management of Optic Neuropathy inPatients with Fibrous Dysplasia
Craniofacial careOptic neuropathy or vision loss is a major concern for people with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (FD). Because surgical correction can lead to further complications, management and treatment for FD related vision loss has been a challenge and source of debate for decades. Some researchers suggest that vision loss in FD is more complicated than compression […]
DOWNLOAD PDFDental Perspectives on Fibrous Dysplasia and McCune-Albright Syndrome
Craniofacial careMcCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by the triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD), endocrine disorders, and café-au-lait skin pigmentation. Ninety percent of MAS patients have FD lesions in the craniofacial area, resulting in significant orofacial deformity, dental disorders, bone pain, and compromised oral health. Maxillomandibular FD is also associated with dental […]
