Clival Fibrous Dysplasia: Case Series and Review of the Literature

Slightly more than 30 cases of fibrous dysplasia involving the clivus have been reported in the international literature, primarily in the neurosurgery and radiology literature. In this article we present a series of 4 cases involving patients with clival fibrous dysplasia. In a retrospective chart review, 4 patients presenting to tertiary care centers from January 1, 2006, to January 31, 2008, were identified and their presenting symptoms and radiologic findings reviewed. Based on our literature review, we describe the presenting symptoms of patients with clival fibrous dysplasia and characterize the findings of imaging studies associated with this disorder. All patients in this series had a presenting complaint of headache or cranial nerve deficits, which is consistent with previous reports found in our literature review. Additional presenting symptoms that have been reported include dysphagia and a nontender occipital mass; there was also an incidental asymptomatic finding. Magnetic resonance imaging findings are consistent with those associated with fibrous dysplasia at other sites of the body. We conclude that clival involvement in monostotic fibrous dysplasia may not be as rare as previously perceived.

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign, congenital skeletal disorder which leads to the formation of fibro-osseous intramedullary bone lesions. Clival fibrous dysplasia is a rare variant which commonly presents asymptomatically with no findings on examination and is often picked up incidentally on radiological investigation. A 39-year-old female presented with a sudden onset headache of 3 days’ duration alongside diplopia and right lower limb weakness upon examination. Computerized tomography head scan revealed an expansile clivus with a ground-glass appearance, magnetic resonance imaging brain scan revealed a predominantly hypointense signal on T1- and T2-weighted images and subsequent whole-body bone imaging confirmed the diagnosis of monostotic clival fibrous dysplasia. This case highlights the importance of considering monostotic clival fibrous dysplasia as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with sudden onset symptoms of headache alongside cranial and peripheral nerve involvement, when other more sinister causes have been excluded.
