craniofacial fibrous dysplasia

fibrous dysplasia (fd) is an osseous growth dis-order, producing immature bone and characte-rized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. it is a bone dys-plasia that has the potential to cause significant cosmetic and functional disturbances, particularly in the craniofacial skeleton. cra-niofacial fibrous dysplasia is one of the three types of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia that can affect the bones of the craniofacial complex. in this article, we report a case of craniofacial fd which caused hemifacial swelling and orbital asymmetry with no significant neurological symptoms including visual disturbances.
