Extradural Optic Nerve Decompression for Fibrous Dysplasia with a Favorable Visual Outcome —Case Report—

“Well Digging” Subcraniotomy Strategy with Navigation for Optic Nerve Decompression in Frontoorbital Fibrous Dysplasia: Preliminary Experience

BACKGROUND During the past decades, surgical intervention has been the primary treatment modality for frontoorbital fibrous dysplasia involving optic nerve. However, controversy has surrounded the role of optic nerve decompression in a number of ways. Herein, we describe 3 patients with frontoorbital fibrous dysplasia involving optic nerve, who underwent a "well digging" subcraniotomy strategy ...

Long-term outcome of optic nerve encasement and optic nerve decompression in patients with fibrous dysplasia: risk factors for blindness and safety of observation.

OBJECTIVE Fibrous dysplasia (FD) of bone may occur solely as a skeletal condition or it may occur in association with extraskeletal manifestations, including growth hormone (GH) excess. Uncertainty exists as to the management of FD involving the optic nerves. In an effort to clarify management, the authors studied a large population of patients. METHODS One hundred four patients underwent an ...

“Apartment” Decompression for Saving Optic Nerve in Fronto-Orbital Fibrous Dysplasia: Strategy and Advantage

Background: During the past decades, surgical intervention is the primary treatment modality for fronto-orbital fibrous dysplasia involving optic nerve. However, controversy has surrounded the role of intra-canal decompression in a number of ways. Objective: Our philosophy of saving optic nerve is that treatment paradigms should be tailored to the individual. Herein, we describe three patients ...

Optic nerve ischemia: optic nerve sheath decompression alone or with optic nerve decompression.

Unilateral optic nerve hypoplasia with asymmetric septum: A case report of unilateral septo-optic dysplasia

Septo-optic dysplasia is an uncommon diagnosis comprised in part of a unique composition of congenitalmalformations of the central nervous system. It is defined by three principle findings: optic nerve hypoplasia, absence of the septum pellucidum, and clinical pituitary dysfunction. The syndrome may be associated with various cerebral defects including ectopic posterior pituitary, dysgenesis of...
