Cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis is an underdiagnosed disorder with significant diagnostic difficulties due to its non-specific clinical manifestations. It is caused by the deposition of protein aggregates with an abnormal tertiary structure in the extracellular matrix. Their accumulation leads to the development of hypertrophic and restrictive cardiomyopathy and, at a later stage, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- Leontiasis ossea, or craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, is a rare condition that causes abnormal growth of facial bones, often linked to chronic kidney disease and high parathyroid hormone levels.
- A case of a 30-year-old male with severe facial swelling and bone changes highlights the rapid progression of symptoms after poor dialysis access and the persistence of hyperparathyroidism despite treatment efforts.
- The article also reviews the underlying causes, imaging techniques used for diagnosis, and management strategies for this complex disease.
