Abstract Patients with severe maxillary hypoplasia secondary to craniofacial dysplasia present a challenge to the craniofacial surgeon. Maxillary distraction presents a promising tool to treat these patients more successfully. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

(18.8% at presentation in this series). [nature.com]

They present a small series of three adult patients with complex FD that highlights the surgical complexity required in some adult patients with FD. [utah.pure.elsevier.com]

• Severe Pain

  pain; endovenous treatment with bisphosphonates is indicated. [surgicalneurologyint.com]

  Interestingly, the pain scores did not correlate with the disease burden, and adults were more likely to have pain and have more severe pain than children, suggesting there is an age-related increase in the prevalence of pain in FD. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

• Blurred Vision

  Kasius First published November 6, 2017, DOI: A 24-year-old woman presented with blurred vision of her left eye 1 hour after a mild head trauma. [n.neurology.org]

  She also gave history of blurred vision and parasthesia of involved site with associated change in phonation. [jpma.org.pk]

  vision (24%), and eyelid position disturbance (10%).[ 15 ] Pain complaint is less frequent in children and more in adults, and female patients experience an increased pain level during pregnancy and during the menstrual cycle because of the estrogen [surgicalneurologyint.com]

  The most common ocular presentation was blurred vision, which occurred in 10 (24%) patients, followed by eyelid position abnormalities that occurred in 4 (10%) patients. [nature.com]

  The symptoms associated with FD are well described in the literature, with some series reporting up to one-third of patients having visual complaints, including blurred vision, diplopia, and epiphora [6]. [journals.plos.org]

• Progressive Loss of Vision

  The surgical indication in one of these patients was a relatively rapid progressive loss of vision (over a period of four months) from 10/10 to 8/10. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

• Osteoporosis

  Decreased bone density leading to osteoporosis Hearing loss Recurrent ear and sinus infections Mild delay in development of motor skills, such as crawling or walking Loose joints Chewing and eating problems due to dental abnormalities High rate of caesarean [craniofacialteamtexas.com]

  Fibrous dysplasia can be treated with osteoporosis medications such as pamidronate, which is known for relieving pain, reducing the risk of fractures, and strengthening bones. [craniofacial.net]

  Bone health and dental function are compromised: Because the mutated RUNX2 genes affect bone growth, osteoporosis may develop at an early age. [healthblog.uofmhealth.org]

  Individuals with cleidocranial dysplasia often have decreased bone density (osteopenia) and may develop osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones progressively more brittle and prone to fracture, at a relatively early age. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

• Facial Mass

  mass (60%), blurred vision (24%), and eyelid position disturbance (10%).[ 15 ] Pain complaint is less frequent in children and more in adults, and female patients experience an increased pain level during pregnancy and during the menstrual cycle because [surgicalneurologyint.com]

  The most common presentation was facial asymmetry, which occurred in 36 (86%) patients, followed by an orbital or facial mass 25 (60%). [nature.com]

• Facial Numbness

  Occasionally, the patient may also complain of facial pain, headaches, or facial numbness. [13], [14], [15] Figure 1: Coronal computed tomography section showing involvement of the maxilla and zygomatic bone in a patient with fibrous dysplasia Click here [jiaomr.in]

• Distractibility

  Distraction osteogenesis has certainly improved treatment of these patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dizziness

  Dizziness as presenting symptom of monostotic fibrous dysplasia. International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra, Vol. 1, Issue. 2, p. 138. [cambridge.org]

• Vertigo

  Reported symptoms were headaches (26%), visual problems (21.4%), hearing loss (4%), vertigo (4%) and loss of smell (4%). MAS-patients had significantly higher SBS of the skull. [bone-abstracts.org]

Conclusion: Treatment of craniofacial fibro-osseous lesions is highly individualized. [amsjournal.com]

Furthermore, clinical and biochemical response on bisphosphonate treatment was assessed. Prognostic factors for treatment outcome were identified. [bone-abstracts.org]

Treatment for Cleidocranial Dysplasia Fortunately, there have been many advances and improvements in treatments for CCD. Children with CCD can live fulfilling lives, with support and treatment to manage the various symptoms and complications. [craniofacialteamtexas.com]

This group of experts considers the special needs of each patient as they develop a treatment plan. Treatment may include dentures or implants, special treatment for hair, nails and skin, or lifestyle adjustments to maximize comfort and health. [craniofacialcenter.ucsf.edu]

Moreover, the positive expression of TWSG1 in FD with favorable prognosis was higher than that with poor prognosis (P Conclusion: The overexpression of TWSG1 is a vital biological marker in the prognosis of FD. e-Published: 22 Jul, 2016 Disclaimer Manuscripts [mona.uwi.edu]

T1: heterogeneous signal, usually intermediate T2: heterogeneous signal, usually low, but may have regions of higher signal T1 C (Gd): heterogeneous contrast enhancement Treatment and prognosis Treatment is reserved for cases where function is being threatened [radiopaedia.org]

It appears that cases with an early onset and polyostotic involvement have a worse prognosis. [rbcp.org.br]

Discussion Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental tumour like condition that is characterized by replacement of normal bone by excessive proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue intermixed with irregular bony trabeculae. 1 The exact etiology [jpma.org.pk]

Thus, further study is required to comprehensively elucidate the entity, including its etiology, histopathology, clinical significance, and so forth. [ajnr.org]

The authors review the biological, epidemiologic, clinical, genetic, and radiographic characteristics of adult FD, with an emphasis on surgical management of FD. [utah.pure.elsevier.com]

Refer to fibrous dysplasia article for a discussion of epidemiology. [radiopaedia.org]

As such there is little information and no consensus in the published literature regarding the epidemiological statistics. [en.wikipedia.org]
