Abstract

[Fibrous dysplasia drew the #13 position for ACF abnormalities as a slowly progressive tumor-like process where normal cancellous bone is replaced by immature woven bone and fibrous tissue. This is often associated with endocrine dysfunction, abnormal pigmentation, and precocious puberty. With its fondness for the skull base and orbit, fibrous dysplasia can cause serious neurologic problems. Presentation: Fibrous dysplasia involving the skull base may present in myriad manners which are discussed (Lustig et al, Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 127(10):1239–1247, 2001).]
