| Description |
In fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD), fibro-osseous tissue replaces normal bone. The anterior cranial base is frequently involved in the polyostotic form. The optic nerve passing through the sphenoid wing is often found to be partially or completely encased by FD on CT. Some surgeons have advocated prophylactic optic nerve decompression to preserve sight in these patients. |
