Ophthalmic manifestations of fibrous dysplasia

Conclusions Because fibrous dysplasia of the orbital bones can be a cause of significant dysfunction and disfigurement, as well as a treatable cause of blindness in both children and adults, the diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia should not be ruled out based solely on the age of the patient. The characteristic radiologic appearance of this disease allows one to differentiate fibrous dysplasia from other tumors associated with bony expansion or density changes, specifically meningioma.
