Severe craniofacial fibrous dysplasia associated with decreased visual acuity: a case report.

Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental abnormality characterized by the replacement of normal bone tissue by fibrous connective tissue with poorly organized bone trabeculae. This disorder rarely occurs in the craniofacial region, but in such cases it causes facial asymmetries and has severe clinical implications for the patient.
