The fibrous dysplasia of bone is painless, benign, and slowly progressive bone lesion. It may rarely become aggressive by compression of adjacent organs or malignant transformation. This disease falls within the scope of a McCune-Albright syndrome in less than 7 % of cases. The authors reported the case of a 25-year-old woman, living in the countryside, who suffered from a severe craniofacial fibrous dysplasia which has begun since her childhood with no medical care. Her clinical picture was that of McCune-Albright syndrome, and CT scan revealed advanced dysplasia with endocranial compression.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical manifestation of various underlying causes, characterized by the combination of clinical and imaging findings associated with the posterior cerebral areas and relating to arterial hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. No association was made so far between PRES and McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), a rare genetic disorder resulting in fibrous dysplasia. A 33-year-old female with MAS was presented to the emergency department of the 417 Army Share Fund Hospital in Athens (Greece) after seizure activity with two episodes of ocular upward deviation and transient facial palsy, each lasting a few minutes, followed by a postictal phase.

Fibrous dysplasia is a slow-progressing benign condition characterized by abnormal bone formation that leads to some skeletal disorders. Although some of the fibrous dysplasia have unusual clinical and radiographic features that can lead to a challenging diagnosis, most lesions reveal an expansile bone defect due to cortex thinning. This report presented a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of a 43-year-old woman with involvement of the right maxillary jaw and sinuses, which indicated unusual histopathological features.
