Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia of the fronto-orbital region: A case series and literature review

Prognosis for craniofacial fibrous dysplasia after incomplete resection: age and serum alkaline phosphatase

“…The optimum treatment for craniofacial FD has been controversial for a long time 18 . Recent advances in craniofacial surgical techniques have led to complete resection and autologous bone graft becoming an ideal treatment modality 12,15 . Despite these developments in craniofacial surgical techniques, complete resection of craniofacial FD is not achievable at high frequencies 7,11 .…”

“…The ideal treatment for craniofacial FD is complete resection and immediate reconstruction with autogenous bone 15 . In the present cases of complete resection, the authors did not observe recurrence during the long-term follow-up periods.…”

“…In general, the pathological process of craniofacial FD begins in childhood and progresses through puberty and adolescence 15,18 . The progression usually stops after adolescence 1 .…”

Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia: clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes

“…22 Surgical interventions were performed on 30 (71.4%) patients in our series, with 11 requiring further surgery over the course of follow-up.…”

“…10,18,19,20,22 Rootman et al 18 have found the pattern to be equally distributed among the two groups, sclerotic and pagetoid. Others have found pagetoid to be the most common.…”
