Outcome of Long-Term Bisphosphonate Therapy in McCune-Albright Syndrome and Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia

McCune Albright Syndrome ( MAS ) - polyostotic fibrous dysplasia

Sinonasal disease in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and McCune-Albright Syndrome.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To characterize the spectrum, symptoms, progression, and effects of endocrine dysfunction on sinonasal disease in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD) and McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. METHODS A prospectively followed cohort of subjects with PFD/MAS underwent a comprehensive evaluation that included otolaryngologic and endocrine eval...

Intramedullary rodding and bisphosphonate treatment of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia associated with the McCune-Albright syndrome.

The authors report the results of the management of five consecutive children with McCune-Albright syndrome. These children were treated with a combination of drug treatment (bisphosphonates) and surgical treatment with elongating intramedullary rods (Sheffield) for management of femoral and tibial lesions. This treatment was successful in all patients, as judged by improvement in their quality...

Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia With and Without McCune–Albright Syndrome—Clinical Features in a Nordic Pediatric Cohort

Objective Fibrous dysplasia (FD) presents as skeletal lesions in which normal bone is replaced by abnormal fibrous tissue due to mosaic GNAS mutation. McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) refers to FD combined with skin (café-au-lait) and endocrine manifestations. This study describes the clinical childhood manifestations of polyostotic FD and MAS in a Nordic cohort. Patients and design We retrospe...

Fracture incidence in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and the McCune-Albright syndrome.

UNLABELLED In patients with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone, the peak incidence of fractures is during the first decade of life, followed by a decrease thereafter. Phosphaturia is associated with an earlier incidence and increased frequency of fractures. INTRODUCTION Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a disorder involving either one (monostotic) or several bones (polyostotic FD [PFD] and sometim...
