Posttraumatic Cranial Cystic Fibrous Dysplasia

Abstract: A 14-year-old was girl admitted to our hospital with a subcutaneous mass of the occipital head. The mass had grown for 6 years, after she had sustained a head injury at the age of 6, and was located directly under a previous wound. Skull X-ray Photograph (xp), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a bony defect and cystic changes in the skull corresponding to a subcutaneous mass. Bone scintigraphy revealed partial accumulation. The patient underwent total removal of the skull ma… Show more

“…A position correlation between increase in c-fos gene and FD was described by Marie et al [ 22 ]. Increase in c-fos gene has been related to post-traumatic FD in a couple of case reports[ 23 , 24 ]. Therefore, to avoid the risk of transforming a quiescent lesion into an aggressively growing lesion, we planned to proceed with sequential orthodontic tooth movement, using light forces, without applying any direct forces to the bone (through micro-implants) and to monitor the lesion periodically.…”
