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. This case report describes the treatment of an 18-year-old man who presented with complaints of facial deformity and decreased visual acuity. Cone beam computed tomography revealed a diffuse bone lesion affecting the region of the maxillary, frontal, and nasal bones on the left side of the face. After microscopic examination, the diagnosis of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia was made. The patient underwent a bilateral temporal craniotomy to perform decompression of the orbital apices and correct the loss of visual acuity. In addition, surgical cosmetic contouring of the facial bones was performed. The patient has been followed up by a multidisciplinary team; at his most recent examination, 18 months after the last surgical intervention, his clinical condition remained stable.
